I wanted to share with everyone my opinion and give guidance on how people should go about gaining social signals for their websites. I want people to know what they are getting especially for newbies. Here is a breakdown on what to expect with the different choices..... Buying Shares/Likes form Broker (very risky) Usually all shares are fake 100% (more than likely will send red flag and be removed by social networks and possible account banned) Gained all at once (most of these are gained all at once, huge red flag) Social Exchange (risky) Most shares are fake around 75% (sites like socialadr, youlikehits, addmefast, etc. and used by the brokers mentioned above who then sell them) Overrun with bots (brokers set up a bunch of fake accounts to gain points on autopilot and then share your content to these fake profiles using Onlywire, Sendible etc.) Shares Gained 1 by 1 usually Social Media Syndication (safe) Most shares are real 80% average (used by professional businesses and top network marketers to syndicate their content to thousands of social media profiles and help them brand themselves) Requires Social Media Management system (must have Onlywire, Sendible, etc. account---your content gets syndicated to other peoples profiles, all are managed by real people) Drip-feed ability (can be sent out at various times not all at once) Spin content (posts can be spun to maximize SEO) Targets more social networks (can target all networks supported by Sendible, Onlywire, etc.) When attempting to gain social signals, keep all of the above in mind.
