Hello,

Just wanted to know if someone has a bad experience buying some social signal via the marketplace ?

Have you noticed that your website improved in ranking ? or the inverse ? or nothing have changes ?

I'm considering buying thousands of social signals, but I'm afraid to see decreasing my ranking

Any hint ?

thanks

Yes, social signals are an important ranking factor.
What matter here is the quality of those social signals, not the quantity.

Any signal is good if drives traffic!
 
Social signals never improve rankings.

I may disagree with you. I do agree that social media is not used to rank any website but the link from them does matter. I am not restricting myself to couple of them like FB, Twitter, instragram but I am talking in broad. There are plenty (may be in 100's) of social media websites and I have ranked one website only using those links. If it does not help in directly rank, atleast it helps to diversify the link and you rank when you mix this with other links. But i never purchased any bulk like thousands of links as he is planning to buy, so can not comment if that can harm. I do not think it should harm, maximum you may lose the likes or followers, if they are not real. thats it
 
From my experience, social signals ALONE don't improve rankings. There have been many case studies about this.

That said, they can help improve your serps if you build them while also building links to your site. The effect is much more than just building links without them.

Social signals can never harm your site!

Don't say false statements please, social signals have never been, are not nor will be an important ranking factor. Social signal only good thing is that it takes Google's eyes off you if you get a lot of new links, but the only source of traffic is google. So it means they only help in case of a manual review.

I run a SEO agency and I did my own study cases :)
As I said it's about quality

Do you have any seller to recommand from the marketplace that provide quality.
I think I'll also make my own study cases.
I guess it won't affect the ranking, but if it helps to be crawl by the google spider for a new website, it's good

I'm not sure if I can promote a service here. So I send you a PM with a service I used from the marketplace. That said if you are all in white hat it's a barely medium/acceptable quality.
The best way is to make it yourself but it take time and or money. If you are comfortable with programming you can surely have fun with Ubot.

Yes, making your own study case is always good because I heard enormous bullshit here since years. These people don't lie intentionally; they do lousy work and complain about x or x not working.

I can assure you social signals, alone, can boost your ranking like from page 2 or 3 to top 5.

Sure, take care to the fact SMM panel are made to create social proof but are useless to rank, for example buying xK FB like at $5 will not works.
What works is legit looking accounts from a substantial volume of sources, then only 2-3 signals by platform drip-fed over a few weeks.

If your network can generate legit traffic, even a little, your ranking will skyrocket.
Since the average marketer doesn't know basic stuff having your own SM network is a good advantage.

100% agree, I prefer pay more $$ to get quality. That's why I'm asking advice for working SMM :)
