How To Get The Most From Social Media
The way it works is simple, when Google's crawlers are out doing there thing one thing they always look for is signs of social activity. Have people been +1ing, liking, tweeting, Pinning or otherwise sharing it on a social media platform?
Google figures hey if people are sharing this than more people are probably going to find it interested. Google moves you up a bit and looks at you again in a day or two and says wow more people are sharing this and now people are leaving comments as well, I bet more people will want to read this and they keep moving you up and up as you receive more and more social backlinks and comments.
So maybe you are new to all of the internet marketing stuff and have not even begun to build your social groups as yet, well, that's okay because we all have to start somewhere but I do suggest you start as soon as possible because you can be growing your social networks and making friends while you are building your site and learning the IM trade.
awhile back I started a small Facebook group called Writers Secret Society (WSS) the way it works is people post their latest works be it a new street article or a new blog post in WA or on you own website, a YouTube video or whatever and the rest of the members in the group go look at it and if they like it they share it and comment on it.
This is a huge deal because it starts the social ball tolling on your new post or site right away, helping you move up in rank faster and gain more respect from Google. What I mean by Google respect is the more you publish that people respond to the more Google will rank your work. They know a good author when they see one and believe me they give favor to people they consider good authors.
WSS is now on the new Google Community platform and we are looking to grow our numbers. It's free to belong to the community and will remain so unless Google starts charging me to run the group lol.
We have only 3 basic rules which are be active, at very least before you post you need to +1 everything and keep all new stuff +1ed on a regular basis, and last but not least is no selling to the group. This last one is very important, it will get you banned from the group.
Keep in mind you do not have to share or social anything you don't like, in fact if you don't like it please don't share it. This group is about IMers sharing with other IMers and if there is a real interest then we give it the works.
You're welcome to come and join us we are always happy to get new members.
Thanks for reading. Leave your questions and comments below!

It is like a no brainer, do you want a social following and do you want to be on the first page of google for many posts and pages .....works for me....it only works if we work together and work it does...thanks TY
I was invited by Ty a few months ago to the WSS facebook community and really saw an increase in rankings on my site and articles. Have been an active member ever since and helped get the googleplus thing going. If you join remember if you are active and share you will get back what you sow and more. I have a page post competing against a lot of competition and have seen it climb up to page 1 of google just by using the community and posting it on a few social platforms. Now that's POWER!
It really is powerful! Social backlinks are pretty awesome especially when you have a bunch of friends who understand the importance of social and comments!
Hi Ty, sorry to ask a stupid question but checked WSS and I am no longer a memeber, also how do I join as the red join this community button kind of went no where, help appreciated
Regards

Hi Hudson if you want back in the FB community just hit the join button and I'll confirm for you. I would advise joining the googleplus page as that is where most of the activity has moved to.
Thanks for this - a good reminder. I joined some time ago but have got out of the habit of contributing, so here we go to restart the process,

I'm a member of this community and it's very easy to get and stay involved. I guess I have become a social diva because I prefer to visit websites and leave substantive comments that hopefully spark a conversation and give the works as far as tweeting, liking, g+'ing, etc. I don't always have time for this, I often have to make time for it.
The great thing about the way WSS is set up is you can give as much or as little as you want. Just remember, you get what you give, but as long as you're active that is acceptable and members are good about reciprocating.
Thanks Sonya, you're dead on about that, you get what you give with WSS, makes it kind of nice in a way because the more you get involved the more and spend time commenting and so on the more likely people are to get your back.
Love the idea! Just joined the community, I will try and +1 stuff whenever I have the time! Thanks for sharing!
I hope to see you around over there. It's really fast to +1 everything, only take a min to do it, of course following some of the links and socialing and making comments is much better.
It will also get you more love for your own work as well =)
I just noticed you have no profile photo on G+, I forgot to mention you have to have a profile pic or you get removed from the group, add one and rejoin =)

I joined the WSS a few minutes ago. Spent some time reading the information about the South Beach Smoke electronic cigarette. I am ready to buy but I have one big question that I have not seen answered or discussed on any of the sites I have visited. I smoke Misty Menthol 120s, I tried a disposable brand called Blu in the menthol and it was not satisfying at all. Since they do not offer a tobacco/menthol flavor, should I go with the tobacco flavor (I liked the sound of the one you said was a little sweet) and go with a lower nicotine level? Need some help and advice on this part. LOL But, once I get an answer, I am ordering the Deluxe Starter Kit. Tired of smoking but having trouble kicking the darn things. Lots of stress right now, but I am trying to quit. This may be the perfect answer. Oh, I also shared several of the articles I read! Thanks for the opportunity!
Glad you are aboard the more the better.
Great comment but you would be better putting this on the smogrettes site where you got the information. That's how social marketing works write on the site where you got the info so it gets the benefit from Google.
Ty will no doubt answer your question when he gets around to it. Hope you are able to kick the habit I know Ty did and that's why he is able to give informative reviews.
I answered this here http://smogrettes.com/south-beach-smoke-review, but basically what I said was order both and see which one you like best, an extra pack of carts is cheap and will allow you to try them both to see what you like.
