Facebook Shares More Important Than Links?

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

If you’re familiar with search engine optimization, you know that one way links from authority websites have been the most important SEO factor for a number of years. As Facebook’s market penetration continues to grow, search engines are learning to look to it for cues about what’s popular. Some of what we pointed to in a post SEO Benefits of Social Media Marketing has been confirmed by the team at SEOMoz. In a recent post Rand Fishkin provides empirical evidence pointing to search engine ranking benefits from Facebook user activity which includes links to your website, particularly shares.

Facebook+Twitter’s Influence on Google Search Rankings

Facebook Share Action

When a user posts a link to your site on his wall, your site receives SEO benefit. While some users may post your link on their Facebook profile on their own, a share widget can make this much more likely. The major search engines seems to have an easier time counting the number of links from FB profiles than counting “likes”. Additionally, the researchers at SEOMoz were surprised to see less benefit springing from Twitter links than was previously anticipated. A Facebook share widgets, like the one at the top right of this page(which you should go ahead and use right now… I’ll wait…), create an easy way to quickly sign in, and post a link to this page,

Get Social

Whether your plan is to post links yourself on profile and business pages or to put share buttons on your website and browbeat visitors into using them, getting social is key. What’s the hands down easiest way to get Facebook shares? Post ‘em yourself! A little shameless self promotion never hurt anyone. When looking to build your fan base, you’ll want to build a custom Facebook business page, and run display banner ads. Once you’ve obtained a few hundred, or a few thousand fans, you’ll have an audience of people who are already interested in what you sell. Special offers and incentives delivered as a trusted to your existing clientele friend through Facebook have extremely high conversion rates. Businesses who are capitalizing on these opportunities are seeing both direct and indirect benefits.

local online advertisingIt is a common misconception that local advertising is something that needs to be done offline. Sure newspapers, television commercials, billboards and other forms of local advertising can work for you. But the key to local advertising is online.

  1. Traffic: Internet Advertising directs people to your website. Whether the user is searching Google for similar services or on Facebook expressing shared interest in your services, Internet Marketing generates traffic to your website. More traffic can lead to more sales, better ROI and increased brand awareness.
  2. Conversions: The ultimate goal of advertising is to generate more business. Whether the goal of your website is to sell a product, generate leads or provide information, our goal is to direct buyers to your website through proven internet advertising techniques.
  3. Brand Recognition: By putting yourself in front of people who are interested in your products and services on a regular basis you become an authority in the industry. One happy customer can turn into multiple endorsements which can increase your clientele exponentially. Banner Advertisements help build Brand Recognition by displaying your ads to massive amounts of people on major websites like Yahoo’s Banner Network.
  4. Brand Loyalty: Having a reliable source of information online in the form of a quality search engine friendly website can be extremely valuable in building brand loyalty.  Another great way to build Brand Loyalty is through social media interaction on websites like Facebook and Twitter.
