Are the Facebook Likes as important
in SEO now has in years past?

Facebook “likes” have been a strong source for SEO improvement for websites for years.

Facebook likes have been around for many years now, since the initial launch of the company earlier in the 2000′s, going all the way back to when Facebook was only available on college campuses. The likes have been a strong indicator of the overall strength of a website, thus helping it increase in visibility in the search engines. Facebook has also been the top social media website in the world since it came out and with having over 1 billion members online, Facebook has one of the strongest reaches online of any website on Earth.

Google Plus is a very new social media engine, as it has only been established since 2011. It has many of the same features as Facebook does, however it has been said that Google Plus Ones have a direct impact on search engines considering that the votes are coming from people who are using the actual Google search engine itself, allowing the website or webpage to gain higher authority in the search engines faster.

Google Plus has shown to be
a strong SEO tool at Electronics City.

Google Plus has become one of the most influential social media applications available. Its votes help to boost a websites or webpage’s SEO overall in the popular search engine.

The Google Plus service tends to reward users for following people using Google Circles, and having natural interactions with other Google users around the world and sharing quality content with other users, thus showing Google that the content is important and that people would be interested in reading about it.

Its very clear that judging from how websites get search engine visibility that social media shares are the way to go, but it looks as though that there really isn’t a clear winner in this debate……..Facebook, Google Plus, Pinterest, Twitter & other social media shares are all as important in getting your content available to the masses.
