Does SEO Help Search Ranking?
lockergnome.net Tom Maxwell, a member of the LockerGnome community, asked: “Does SEO help search ranking?” Search engine optimization (SEO) is a series of methods used by content creators to help improve their ranking on various search engines including Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Having a higher search ranking means that people searching for a specific topic will be more likely to see your content before anyone else. Doing things like giving your content specific titles, using keywords and frequently searched phrases in the body of the page, and maintaining a set of standards across your site are great ways to start with SEO. More recently, search engines like Google and Bing have started to use social media as part of its search algorithms. Are people sharing your content? Has someone you associate with on Google+ or Facebook shared a specific link related to the subject you’re searching for? These may very well be the biggest factors in ranking a site moving forward.

@KevinIsSoAwsome Apparently Google + sucks so much, Chris doesn’t even bother to give the link in the description, but he does have a link for twitter and facebook.

If you haven’t noticed, Google manipulates your search results without having any social networking account.

I disagree.
backlinks > social stuff or content

@lockergnome I already see google telling me that you have shared or mentioned something on google+ and it is very interesting. It has also linked me directly to videos poeple have posted i.e on minecraft and also stuff I have posted about certain topics. Social searching is already here

Of course it does. SEO isn’t all about content and code (on-page SEO) though. Quality backlinks seem to hold the most weight. And don’t get involved in black hat, unless you want to get irreversibly banned from the search engines.

A combination of Social media + SEO = better Search Ranking. Are you guys aware that Google added a Social Plugin Tracking tool for Google Analytics that measures the impact of different social activities on your website?
