Some marketers are skeptical about social signals affecting their rankings. Some segregate their social media marketing and link building with different methods and objectives. But as it recently turned out, these people seem to be a minority. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many blog posts which highlight the ineffectiveness of link building on social media.

Even YouTube, Tumblr, LinkedIn and Google+-avenues that were once exceptions to this rule-have now joined the bandwagon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reddit is the only exception here, but marketing on the platform is a herculean task. If you want to market your product on Reddit, it has to be extremely valuable to the sub-community, especially for link building to work. And if you post crappy content and try to rant about your product on Reddit, you\u2019ll face the risk of being banned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, you just can\u2019t ignore link building on social media because it\u2019s no follow. What about the social signals? What about the traffic that emanates from the links in a user\u2019s news feed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SEO specialist and affiliate marketer, Matthew Woodward shares some tremendous insights on building backlinks from social media in his <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tutorial<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Facebook, for instance, Woodward suggests the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add your website link to Contact<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add your website link anytime you post something on your timeline including pictures and videos<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pin your website link on to your group.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same is applicable to your other social media business pages. Include links to images, descriptions, cover photos etc. There\u2019s no harm in doing so, but there is a huge potential for traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Make Your Content Stand Out<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the main challenges of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/digismm.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"ignore\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">social media marketing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is getting your content seen. With businesses posting on their social channels frequently, you should go the extra mile to make your content easily visible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some essential tactics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Make Your Posts Easily Readable<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This goes without saying, but there are many who don\u2019t have the knack of writing well. Remember to keep your content engaging, concise and free from errors, especially if you want to be noticed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Research Your Competitors<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spend time studying your competitors\u2019 pages as you can find ample opportunities for content promotion. Try looking at industries related to your niche and not always your direct competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Create Evergreen Content<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating evergreen content should be your ultimate objective, especially if you want people to link to the post in the long run. For instance, a blog post on \u201cHoliday marketing ideas\u201d can attract new traffic every Christmas and Halloween.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Translate Your Existing Content<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, this is again something that\u2019s ignored by many people. If you want to get more exposure and more backlinks, translate your existing content.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Submit To Content Communities And Niche News Site<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every industry may not have a content community or niche news site, but most of them do. In digital marketing, for instance, there\u2019s BizSugar.com, Inbound.org, and GrowthHackers.com. And there\u2019s Triberr.com that contains posts on almost anything. Try finding similar websites related to your industry. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One powerful platform to share your posts is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viral Content Bee<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. On this platform, other users share your content on social media provided you do the same. Just remain active and keep on sharing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Submit To Social Network Communities<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social network communities are of prime importance, especially for link building. There are LinkedIn Groups, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/monkeygoesdigital.com\/boost-facebook-engagement-build-loyal-community-5-simple-strategies\/\" data-wpel-link=\"ignore\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook Groups<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Google+ Communities, and Subreddits. On these communities, engage with members by reading and writing valuable comments on their posts. Try answering their questions and they may end up borrowing your kick-ass content and linking back to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Learn To Craft Viral Content<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating viral content is the hardest but quickest way to earn backlinks. Take the example of Brian Dean from Backlinko. Till date, he has published less than 30 articles but shared by thousands of readers worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some content may go viral by chance, many are created by experienced marketers who have the dexterity of viral marketing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>React Fast<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nicholas Tran<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Senior Director of marketing at Samsung Electronics America, states that if you want to succeed in social media today, you have to respond in real time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life never comes to a standstill on social media. Users keep reading, reacting, commenting and sharing. The key is to stoke a conversation that will attract more eyeballs and then actively engage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, Oreo\u2019s tweet \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Oreo\/status\/298246571718483968\/photo\/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F02%2F04%2Foreos-super-bowl-tweet-dunk-dark_n_2615333.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You Can Still Dunk In The Dark<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d went crazy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Oreo.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-8231\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Oreo.png?resize=524%2C703&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Ingenious Link Building Strategies on Social Media\" width=\"524\" height=\"703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Oreo.png?w=482&amp;ssl=1 482w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Oreo.png?resize=223%2C300&amp;ssl=1 223w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 524px) 100vw, 524px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lights went off during the showdown between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. Oreoz seized this opportunity and tweeted about it during the 34-minute hiatus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Viewers loved the message which was retweeted over 14,000 times at the time of writing this post. It went viral and built tons of discussion, links, and traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A key takeaway here for brands is to check what\u2019s trending and avoid sensitive trends that can lead to risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another example is the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">heartwarming story of Mexican bakers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who were supporting the flood victims after Hurricane Harvey. This was shared by Independent soon after the incident. It was widely shared by Facebook users and gathered more than 2.4 million engagements, according to Buzzsumo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/LBS-2.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-8217\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/LBS-2.png?resize=640%2C460&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Ingenious Link Building Strategies on Social Media\" width=\"640\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/LBS-2.png?w=563&amp;ssl=1 563w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/LBS-2.png?resize=300%2C216&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/buzzsumo.com\/\">Image Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Be Creative<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an area which is easier said than done. You can never imagine going viral by copying others-creating content that others are creating, even if it\u2019s deeper, better or more vibrant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to stand out from the rest to go viral.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An easy way to do this is to spy on your competitors and do exactly the opposite. Of course, it takes tremendous effort and brainstorming, but you\u2019ll be rewarded in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, when American fast food restaurant, Taco Bell decided to promote their new app, they were sure that making loads of noise on social media would not attract the attention of users. So they deleted all their pages and left a single but effective message.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/LBS-3.png?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-8218 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/LBS-3.png?resize=640%2C637&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 ingenious link building strategies on social media\" width=\"640\" height=\"637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/LBS-3.png?w=996&amp;ssl=1 996w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/LBS-3.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/LBS-3.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rankwatch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/LBS-3.png?resize=768%2C765&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/searchenginejournal.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/searchenginejournal.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This post went viral and earned the company a huge amount of traffic and links.
