Imtiaz Ahmed Tanik: Does google plus ,facebook and twitter really helps in rankings?
Dave Elliott: Really, who the hell is saying it does? No, no it doesn't help with rankings.
Imtiaz Ahmed Tanik: Well I searched a lot about it. I have heard that the new system called the social signal which google can get from the social networking sites. When someone writes something sharing in social can be a boost to its rankings. ;
Micah Fisher-Kirshner: +Dave Elliott: Lots of older articles would proclaim that there is a correlation (see: Moz) and then people take that to me it actually means it helps.
