Here is a case study showcasing the impact of social signals on one of our customer's websites, The campaign is still ongoing, but I thought it would be useful to share the results.
Objective: To see the effect of social signals.
I won't reveal the exact domain, but here are some details,
Here's exactly what was done:
Impact:
Although the site was getting good traffic, but the traffic had become stagnant since many months. Social signals brought in new life to the traffic on the website !
There has been a jump of almost 9000 + visitors per month for 2 months in a row now !
From 31,896 visits in March, the website got to 43,369 visits in May !
The jump is in the visits from search results.
This is just another case study (just like some others shared here) that reveals that - Social signals do work and can help any website, since google has been giving a lot of emphasis on these lately.
