Google Again Says: We Don't Use Social Media For Ranking
 

For those who still belive this:

https://www.seroundtable.com/again-g...ing-22200.html

If you read between the lines, social media is used INDIRECTLY.

"...no - it is not used directly for ranking."

Overall inbound links to a site from 'authority sites' are usually found in top rankings websites -- 'authority links' and not affiliate spam :2 cents:

If real users like and link to a website.

yeah, and link building doesn't help either

Traffic comming from social networks to your site helps.

Yes, especially when google has full access to the data. That statement is almost ridiculous

Google Confirms Data Sharing Deal With Twitter

Sure because all of of you (and your test of course) are more reliable source than reality and this video

Yup... this is totally the reason why my twitter page is ranked higher than my own website... perfect reasoning.

Google has absolutely no reason to be truthful about this.

You are right about it, BUT if you make your own tests then you can match your results and see that what they are saying is true, nobody has tweeted their way to the top, if any of the people above have PROOF than social media its a factor in the rankings please post it and discuss.... All I saw above was people confusing correlation with causation and posting anecdotal evidence.

well, they are now including wikipedia in snippet results, but your company has to be noteworthy.

Anyone that believes that, I have a bridge for sale in San Francisco. I can give you a great deal

google 360 for example, which allows people to enter and take a 360 degree tour of your business from street view and lists on google+ and can embed anywhere. Helps and not too expensive, you need to use an authorized supplier.
