A Correlation Study



                      Is there a correlation between
                      visibility in natural search and
                          a website’s social media
                                    equity?

                              Head of SEO, Performics
SEO Visibility... You need a big
dataset
And lots of social data...



                 •   Facebook Likes
                 •   Facebook Shares
                 •   Facebook Comments
                 •   Tweets
                 •   +1s
                 •   Stumbles
                 •   Delicious bookmarks
                 •   LinkedIn shares
For some big name UK sites...
My Dataset
Domain   Social Links By   Referring    SEO
  s         Channel         Links,     Visibility
                           Domains      Score
                             etc
Lets pose some questions...


Is there a correlation between
visibility in natural search and
    a website’s social media
              equity?
Lets pose some questions...


                   Why can’t we say
                conclusively that social
             equity is impacting visibility in
                    natural search?
A basic theory...

                            Increased
      Social Links          Visibility in
                               SERPs



                     Data we’ve seen proves no
                          conclusive link...
A Better theory...?

                            Increased
    Great      Normal
                            Visibility in
   Content      Links
                              SERPs



             Social Links
A more realistic theory...?

                            Increased
    Great      Normal
                            Visibility in
   Content      Links
                              SERPs



             Social Links
Unfortunately it doesn’t prove
this...
                           Increased
   Great      Normal
                           Visibility in
  Content      Links
                             SERPs



            Social Links
A concrete example... July 2011
Vote for Roland!!
Does this boost domain SEO
Visibility...?  Over 80% of all next.co.uk
                          social links point at
                                Roland

                        Well over 70’000 social
                                 links




       No game-changing uplift in links
Does this boost domain SEO
Visibility...?




              ...Not really
  Big social link surge ≠ a big rankings jump
Lets pose some questions...


Why all the fuss about social
          & SEO?
Think of relevance as a
currency...
               Webmasters

            140 million domains

                800 million
               Facebookers

              7 billion people

                Facebookers
            7bn people worldwide

            ??tn site interactions
So what...?



              Don’t succumb to the hype
              around social links = SEO
Get Positive RoI from Social



              Think about the half life of
               socially sourced content
