I agree with everyone said above.
In the terms of social media, I want to point out that Google+ has been known to make pages get crawled faster.

Hi Mark
I agree with both Chris & Ratan. Based on Rand's recent Whiteboard Friday there is also a case of saying Google+ is best for SEO - some interesting thoughts on there so worth watching.

You can't actually get a candid 'yes' or 'no' answer to it. Twitter has it's own benefits and so is the case with Facebook. What matters is how effectively are you using a channel. If you are using Twitter efficiently, it is good for you, and if I am great at Facebook, it is the best for me. When talk about the potential of these two in terms of SEO, they both are neck to neck.
Google does see social signals and gives it importance in search rankings, but it does not necessarily depend on any one social media for the same. More is better for it.
Using at least 5 channels like Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, Google Plus, Stumble Upon etc. devotedly will give you the benefits of social signals in a better way.
Thanks

It's not about importance but more about crawlability, because Facebooks has privacy settings and not everyone's profile is public it can't always crawl all the links where as Twitter Google can see the links.
So twitter is better as Google can read it easier. Bing Uses Facebook more I believe.

Twitter stats
I am trying to increase the position of one of my deeper links (my site.com/targetpage) trying to use twitter to up this page as a new strategy. I have 18 on OSE for my twitter metrics but none on the deeper link (i havent tried yet for this). How do i actually get the a twitter metric score for this deeper link? Does the tweet have to be the actual target page URL? Or is it a twitter share button on the page? Confused how it works. Thanks, Chris

Just how popular are some #Twitter Groups
Good Morning from 14 degrees C wetherby UK 🙂 As i sat on my grassy knoll puffing on a pipe overlooking the English country Land I wondered... just how do you measure the volume of users using hash tag twitter groups.... or put another way imagine you say to a client "Ok one idea is to get this friday meal deal promoted on #FF" The client then says... "So how many twitter users use the #FF" It a blunt but legit question & one I couldnt answer right now. So my question is please... "Is there a tool to measure frequency of use with regards to twitter hash tag groups" Thanks in advance 🙂

Is facebook and twitter always a good idea to promote a website and improve Google rankings?
I'm attempting to promote a fresh seafood market / restaurant here on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. I have not found a lot of examples of people using Twitter and Facebook to promote this type of business here. Is it hard to justify the time for return here? One benefit I thought for twitter is we could have tweets displayed on site giving us some dynamic content which would hopefully keep Google spider coming back more regularly is this correct? Is there any link building advantage to using these social media sites?
