Social Media Misconceptions
Social Media goes hand in hand with SEO, however not in the way that a lot of people would think. There is a term called Link Wheel. The basic premise is that every time you post to a site such as facebook, that your post links back to your website, and that post creates a link to your site that the search engines will pick up on. – THIS COULD NOT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
The fact is most social media sites including Facebook and Twitter treat these links as NOFOLLOW links, which means the search engines ignore those links. Does that mean you shouldn’t create links on social media sites? Of course you should! After all a well designed social media campaign is about engaging your customers and encouraging them to click on your links, it is not about creating links and content for the search engines.
