Questions this episode answers
Can social media activity improve SEO rankings without backlinks?
Yes, according to this episode. A study of a company called Magners showed that a surge in social media mentions caused search engine placement to rise sharply, with no links required. The effect does fade once conversation dies down, so consistent mentions are needed to maintain the gain.
Does it matter whether social media mentions are positive or negative for SEO?
No. The episode explains that search engines do not factor sentiment into their algorithm. Whether people are talking about a brand positively or negatively, the mentions still increase search engine placement because the engines only check that the conversation is real and keyword-relevant.
Why is a single-page website bad for SEO?
The hosts explain that page rank relates to the probability that a random internet user clicking random links will land on your page. With only one page, that chance is very low. More pages mean more opportunities for inbound links to point back to the site, raising overall rank potential.
What is paid conversation in SEO and social media?
Paid conversation is when brands pay influential social media accounts to talk about their products. The episode notes that some Twitter accounts with large followings have reportedly been offered large sums to tweet about brands, making paid conversation function similarly to paid backlinks.
