    I wonder how to use Social Media to generate traffic for my website. Are posts in the social media counted as a backlink? Is it worth to focus on social media for backlinking?

    Social media is only going to be effective if you have interesting content that their users want to click on and read. You might want to get a writer to write pillar articles for you before starting with a social media campaign

    Any link from Social media i.e Facebook count as nofollow backlink. nofollow backlink is also helpful for ranking and you will get traffic as well.

    Yes, yes and yes. In my experience, social media can do wonders for your website, if it’s correctly managed. But an effective social media presence takes time to build. The challenge for most PR and marketing professionals is choosing the perfect combination of social media platforms in order to focus efforts on the appropriate audience. Each one has its own unique features as well as a variance in demographics. Here’s a relevant article I wrote that might help you with this matter: rogosocial.com/how-to-choose-your-perfect-combination-of-social-media-platforms/. Let me know if you need more information!;)

    My blog in my signature gets about 150 visits per day from social media (twitter/fb/youtube) at the moment.

    The main reason for this though is due to the quality of content that I offer people so it gets shared quite a lot

    There is a program for Twitter. You can make your Twitter page and then that program will automatically load the page with postings, make frends for you etc... SOme tell this helps.

    Social networking can be another way to generate website traffic. Most popular social networks are Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Youtube. If you’re attractive, entertaining or good at sales, you can generate a lot of followers and promote your website to them once in a while.

    Any post form social media are counted as backlinks, just post your links and introduce it your friends, anyway the best thing to do this is you first make a network and have a lot of friends because the possible traffic may come from them.
