How to Use Social Media for SEO? Whenever you meet someone new, you don’t ask him if he is on Facebook; it’s already a given. According to statistics, the average youth spends around 7.5 hours per week on social media which I personally think is a conservative estimate.

At the end of 2010, Google claimed that when it comes to ranking websites, one of their factors is social metrics. Social media actions, such as shares and tweets, contribute over 7 percent to your ranking. It was at 5 percent two years prior

Create a Blog What is it? – You don’t need to be opinionated or love yourself too much in order to create a blog; you don’t even have to talk about your personal life. You can make it like a news site of your own where you can post about news that interest you and engage your followers to talk about them.

Include Share Buttons in your Blog Have faith in your self. Believe that your readers will love your content enough that they will share it with their friends. Make sure you have share buttons in your blog to make sharing easy. Of course your readers can copy and paste but why give them a hard time, right?

Create a YouTube channel The most popular content in YouTube are the how-to videos. Apparently, people are no longer satisfied with just the end product, they want to know how these products came to be. Sharing your knowledge through YouTube is a sure-fire way to build trust and establish expertise.

Embed YouTube videos in your blog Embed your Youtube videos and hope that your readers will share them. Go a step further by inviting non-competitive websites to embed your videos. When they do so, your YouTube ranking goes up. Make sure to introduce your videos using keywords and that there are social media share buttons in place.

Share your content on social media Posts that are just lines of texts don’t have as much likes as those that have a video or photo. When you write a post in Facebook, include a video, a short intro text and then a link to your blog post. Make sure to post regularly to maintain a social media presence. 

Share your content through influencers Reach out to social media influencers and ask them to share your content with their audience. Social media influences are like the celebrity bloggers of social media. Getting them to share your content is like having their endorsement and this will do wonders to your credibility.

Look beyond the obvious Another platform that you should not ignore is Google+. Google is the number one search engine and it owns YouTube, the number two. It goes without saying that an active Google+ account will do good for your ranking. Get In contact with the SEO Experts!
