Earlier this month, I explored the Inbound Marketing feed on Pinyadda. In testament to my loyalty (albeit blind) to social media, I was surprised to find out that SEO was still a major discussion point for new marketers. As such, I figured I’d resolve my SEO ignorance and take to the SEO topic on Pinyadda.
From May 21st to June 21st, 15% of Pinyadda’s SEO feed revolved around Google, 1.2 % around Twitter and 1.6% around Facebook. Could the relatively low percentages of the two social giants have something to do with the fact that social media links are not highly touted by SEO professionals? What value (if any) does a social media link have in the eyes of search engines like Google and Bing with regards to page placement?
In efforts to learn more about SEO, I next found out which sites were publishing the most SEO content. With this in mind, the graph below was created.
These ten sites shown (Media Post Publications, Marketing Vox, Hubspot Blog, Search Engine Land, Brafton Custom News, Online Marketing Blog, Econsultancy, Clickz, SEOmoz Daily SEO Blog and Search Engine Journal) all had more than 3 SEO items published over the last month. These ten sites also account for about 76% of SEO content on Pinyadda, so might as well follow all of them.
