I want to know if we buy social signals from website like buyfok.com, how it will affect in seo?
-
I saw many website link https://buyfok.com/ which sell social media followers like instagram, facebook followers and likes.
I was thinking to increase my social followers/signals for SEO purpose. That's why I want to ask, how these websites followers will affect in SEO?

Just don't!!!!
Buying in an unnatural number of new followers which causes a significant one off spike which will be seen as fake and more thank likely hinder your efforts than help. As per Casey, concentrate on your content, make it unique, high quality and link worthy. This will in turn attract new natural shares, likes and links. These likes and shares will also put your content in front of like minded people in similar demographics with similar interests.

It will do zilch. For one, you should never buy followers/likes - what is the point other than to inflate your following count?
Social media is all about engagement. It's better to have a small number of followers who like, comment and share rather than thousands. Social media's part of SEO is to help encourage your community to like, comment and share your blog articles and web pages. It's an amplification tool to get your content in front of more eyes online and to hopefully encourage natural link building.
I'd suggest having a read of this: https://moz.com/blog/battle-for-traffic-organic-vs-social-media
Good luck!

No employees so will a search engine optimisation company work me?
I'm self-employed and run two different companies solely by myself there is no employees but I contacted the two UK SEO companies which are recommended on Moz both of them based in London, but after sending them emails and speaking to them on the phone neither contacted me about they must think I'm too small. Do you find that small one-man band companies find it hard to get a SEO to work for them because my budget will be too small? The company I would like to improve the rankings on is a Whitby Holidat Cottages letting agency in Whitby www.EndeavourCottge.co.uk with 10 properties, so obviously I can't afford a large budget but I could happily afford a monthly subscription if they could do necessary works for me do you think this sounds feasible? Or am I better just continuing and trying to make the time to do the work myself even I'm not that expertise. What is your thoughts and experience? Thank you Alan Davidson

Do forums still have any SEO value?
Hi All! I want to know what people think about having forums on their sites. Do you still find value on these, or are they mostly a waste of resources? Would it be better to use facebook's registration plugin or something along those lines? Any other thoughts or suggestions on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Margarita
