Hello Matt, a recent article of Danny Sullivan suggests that Google uses Twitter and Facebook links as a ranking signal. Can you confirm this? Can you elaborate a little bit more on this? -WebSEOAnalytics

This video might be a little old, but it’s still a good one from Google. The answers they gave here are still very informative and useful today. Thanks as always, Google!
Matt Cutts looks like a serial killer.
Citation Gurus bit of an older one from you, great clip 🙂 I do Facebook page management and did know this. Would you mind if I refer to this video in my Google Hangout I'm running on social media myth busting? or is there a more up to date one I haven't come across yet?
It's good that Matt could confirm the relevance of Facebook and Twitter with ranking.
thank you for this information
I think The question should be smarter If he asks whether Traffic from exchange social network worths!
Good advice; Good man; Good Google.
Sorry that this might be the wrong platform, please would you try and help with a problem regarding searching. We had a club website but then decided to upgrade, we now have a nice new website built by a different company. The problem is that when our members search for the new website their computer directs them back to the old website which is now closed.We have emptied the cache and browsing data but it still keeps happening, are we able to completely remove the old website, hope you can help
thanks MC
How do you handle black hat seo who creates a Google+ Page, link it your website and never confirm an owner ship of the page, then starts posting real bad feedback (like they they were real people) on the page to hurt your company reputation? How as legitimate owner of the domain name can remove this page?
Well… Social signals are used as rank factors so it's definitely a yes.

Hi,
Maybe Google is going or has gone too far adding social media to web site rankings?
The small business is finding it increasingly more expensive and time time consuming to run a simple web site offering services and hoping to be found in the search engines.
The days of a good domain with the right keywords and very often helpful content are long gone, now the private individual must bear (or sell) their soul to get a good ranking when offering local services.
DMOZ was honest.
Great tips here. Contact me for Local to Bangkok Thailand Search marketing. Cheerios~ Great vid Matt, time for an update? 🙂
Very interesting video – Twitter & Facebook links affect SEO on Google and Bing.
Great video , now that Matt said it , I hope more and more will realize how important social media really is in the SEO process
"404. That’s an error.
The requested URL /realtime?esrch=RealtimeLaunch::Experiment was not found on this server. That’s all we know." noooooooo there is no google realtimesearch !?
Really, you are spamming on a GoogleWebmasterHelp video? You should know better…
We love twitter and facebook its even better than a blog for reaching our customers!
@capizkillbert
Couldnt agree with you! Ive always
been motivated to find ways of making
money online since im a working student
and needs to pay my tuition fees. The
program offered by the site:
TrafficEqualsMoney [.] info
is perfect for earning me BIG! Its really
great idea for making revenue on the net!
Quite an interesting video here. Doing my own research on social signals, and I see nothing but good coming from it.
He used to work for the National Security Agency, and he's pushing a Zionist agenda by devaluing the Gentile work ethic. A more corporate web and a more social web is a more Jewish web.
I think social media has a very important rols for ranking search result. but I do not think Google is going directly focused on it in their SERP
How do you do that? How do you share those videos link on twitter? It sais Via . google i tryed everything????????????????
Thank you dan
@Ketsuekiofwe LOL WUT
Don't set up a Facebook page just because every one else has one, rather develop a basic strategy of how you will use Facebook and how it fits into your marketing strategy. If you still feel the compelling urge to create a Facebook page, then create a personal page and learn the basics.
Hey #UN#,
This was a pretty cool vid.
And no question from Landlubber, surpising! …. (for those who remember)
