Do social media links matter for SEO?

[Vinaya.Ghimire]

I think social bookmarking gives good backlinks to your website and content, which will be regarded highly by search engines.

Many social bookmarking sites have made most outgoing links "nofollow" for some reason.

As for links on social media being good for SEO, it's how users interact with your content that counts. If you get many likes, retweets, pins, etc then Google will reward your site with better rankings. However a link shared on social media that gets no response will have ZERO effect on your rankings.

oday, links are mainly achieved through developing original content that is in turn, shared across social media. Links to your content on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube and other social networks help the search engines understand what websites are credible and should be ranked for what keyword phrases.
