I don’t think social networking will help to increase keyword rankings or SERP, it’s a promotion technique not optimizing. Social media is helpful to create your own network and promote through it.

Use Facebook fanpages and Goups for it. They are good sorce of traffic. Concentrate on increasing fans of your pages. For that post some interesting topics related to your subject regularly. Use fecebook plugins on website. This will increase your fan follwing in good way. Trick is post something useful and in summary and for rest make users to visit your webpage.. Good luck...!

I'm not sure that they still use social media as a lasting SERP enhancer (only short timed news feeds on Google serp).

Now, there are websites that measure Social Media Relevancy (how much your website is mentioned in SM), and that should impact your rankings a bit, but I think that will just get you more traffic for a limited amount of time.
Never the less, your should maximize the potential that social medias offer for getting visitors to your website (as mentioned above: fan pages, groups, lots of "FB friends", etc.)

thanks all for advises
I agree that FB is more promotion technique not optimizing, but I think google should pay attention at social networks and if the page are popular on facebook should give some credits for SERP position.

There are no tips for better positions with Facebook. Google only takes into account more and more links Facebook and Twitter.
It is therefore necessary to work its reputation on social networks to gain more authority in the eyes of Google.

I think that Facebook is a good source to drive traffic to your site and therefore that will make your site to rank a bit better on SERPs.

Social media is now a measure of a webpages authority whether you believe it or not. Search engines have stated so. I can only imagine how they implement how it affects search results. I would imagine something like pagerank. The more followers or friends then your social authority goes up, that combined with a link to your site will increase serps.

If you have a bunch of loyal facebook friends that are eager to read your next post on your wall or page, they will most likley click on the links you provide.

I think the main thing is to build up a bunch of followers who are already interested in what you are offering on facebook because they will be the ones to check out your posts.

Brand yourself on facebook as a expert in the niche that you are in. I belong to the facebook fanpage for V7N forum and always check out the links or stuff our admin Cricket posts on there because i know it's something important.

The rule for social media inclusion in SERP ranking is the same as any other link on the internet: someone links to you from these places, you get link juice. But there are a few things to be aware of.

Facebook
Facebook employs privacy options for every user profile (not pages). What this means is that any individual user can either leave their profile completely open to the world, or put an absolute lock-down on anyone except their friends. If a user makes it to where their profile is private, Google cannot crawl their profile. It's sort of like employing the robots.txt to block Google. Therefore, the only way you can get any juice for your link profile from Facebook is if the user linking to you has their space on the web completely open.

Twitter
Twitter employs rel="nofollow" in all outbound links from the site. This basically means that any link pointing from www.twitter.com to any other place on the web does not ad PR and assist in raw ranking on search engines. However, if you'll refer to a thread that Deepsand and Myself have been involved in for a few days now, you can get an understanding of how rel="nofollow" attributed links can help you.

Here is the thread:
No difference between No follow & Do follow?

Catch up to the posts by Deepsand and you can get an especially nice explanation about the difference between the two existing "nofollow" options. I also make some points on this subject that may be worth reading.

Now remember, these are only two social networks out of the hundreds or thousands that exist. We may never know all of the rules for all social media platforms, but what we can do is bring our reputation to higher levels so our loyal fans become our own little army of advertisers. Gotta love the webmaster / web-viewer bond!

Hope this helps!

oh i see. But i think it will be support by some event of marketing. Such as big discount or something for free if you like your page and visit our page ? Something like that but not only SEO can do?

[sbglobal456]

well.... i think Facebook is very strong because of quantity of friends there is also great place for seo because you can easily share link with your friends and you have a great traffic..........

[mediamax]

what about tweeter ??? it's same way, right?

[jhonandi]

Facebook is a good source of increasing traffic and share a link.

[Peter Merifield]

As all links in Facebook and Twitter are nofollow, they'll not help to increase the SERP results. The advantage of using Social Networks is simple - promote your website with creating fan page, then find more fans as much as you can and publish interesting posts on the page, so the sharing process to be like a circle. Twitter is the same. Share with more people and increase traffic of your website.

[DaCoachIsDrunk]

I think in the future it may help with SERP. FB is incredibly popular so I'm sure Google is working behind the seeings to give weight to the links that are getting shared the most, or getting "liked" the most.

[melovemoney]

Links from anywhere help essentially. Everyone mentions google but remember there are other search engines out there to worry about in addition. It's not ALL about google.
