i'm building a blog network and looking forward to purchase some social signs to give some juice. just wanted to know what type of platform you would use in priority between facebook, twitter, pinterest, instagram, flickr, etc.?
For getting stuff indexed - google+ For juice - google+ For onsite social proof - facebook and twitter For actually having stuff shared by users to their real friends - facebook is providing me more traffic but it's lower quality (lower time on site and more bounces) and twitter is doing much better.
It really depends on the niche you're in and what you're out to get of these signs but in general I would go for the most popular and engaging ones that also appear to invoke more credibility the page, e.g. Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. Lastly I would also add Pinterest. Mike.
yes exactly as everyone said, fb, twitter & G+ signals are very important, moreover you can also use stumbleupon, digg and pinterest. FB & twitter has certain time everyday, when you share your links at that particular time you will get greater CTR. I've read somewhere but don't remember exactly.
As others said, FB, Twitter, and G+ are obviously the top dogs. If you're doing anything related to cooking, parenting, etc, then also consider Pinterest. Women love pinning things on Pinterest and if you can get one of your pins picked up, it could go viral repeatedly within the site.
