Today I'm going to show you how you can get awesome social signals and links back to your site...
Let me explain...
There has been a bunch of hooplah about social signals and whether or not they increase rankings.
Quicksprout did a study and says yes:

Searchmetrics, a huge data SEO provider said yes, even in 2012.
(And in their last update of search ranking factors, they even put Google +1s ABOVE backlinks!)
Matt Cutts said yes in 2010, no in 2012, and back to yes in 2015.
Haha!
Some have pointed out that it may just be correlation, not causation.
....Or that sharing on social media helps attract more backlinks, so they go hand in hand.
And all of this can just leave you feeling very confused.
So, what should you do?

- link diversity
- referral traffic
- virality...
- Social signals
- Brand links
- Link Diversity
- And more...
