Is there any SEO benefit for using Social share buttons on your site?

karolinaboy

of course. If someone shares your link to their friends.

Just so we're on the same page I'm talking about an increase in SERPs if my links are widely shared?

Using social buttons can be great for recognition and direct traffic but can it help you jump from page 5 to page 1 in serps?

Thanks.

karolinaboy

Yes. But, its not really that simple. Theres other things to factor in.

Social media sharing buttons are pretty useless for porn imo

karolinaboy

Yeah a Facebook share button definitely woudnt work.

Tumblr, Twitter and Reddit allows porn.

I think Pintrest too.

So, if you do use them, only use the ones that allow it other wise it'll get deleted.

seo wize not really, i wouldnt put any social crap on my own sites
why distract users to go to the big social crap networks when they are on your own network. i abuse that social crap only to lure visitors to my own sites. that on the other site might help with seo. a fb, twitter etc button does shit + it might enable those gangsters to analyse your visitors behaviour etc...

Pinterest does not allow xxx content on their site.

Social following and sharing is a very important addition to any site. Posting regular updates on social websites is important too.

If you use social media buttons on your site, it gives your users, flexibility to share their interest in your site with a click. Unless your site has content that can not be forgotten, no one will bother finding your page specially, on the social media sites they use. Therefore, it will also give you more interaction opportunities with your visitors. As they will likely to see latest happenings in your site without actually visiting it, and a good content will definitely compel them to pay a visit to their site. They might even turn out to be your representatives as well in their social group. Although it largely depends upon the quality of content you post.

Furthermore, these social media sites employ some sort of tracking mechanism to these buttons(like button, share button)(in context of facebook), so that when a user often visits your site, he/she will also see your page as recommended in their respective social media profile or timeline page, therefore much chances of involving with your page.

So, all in all, do employ these buttons, but with a little bit of caution. Too much use of them will destroy your design. Identify, what major social media platform your targeted visitors use, and then only add widgets from those portals only.

Social buttons allow and encourage users to share your content. Without it, it would be too much trouble to share your content and most people won't bother. The more your content is shared, the more users it reaches and the more opportunity you have to capture new users. Social buttons along with SEO are the single best things you can do fir traffic short of Tweeting, E-Mailing, and otherwise sharing/marketing your content directly. It allows others to market your site for you.
