Social Signals Question

[activitysuper]

Hello,

If I have a landing page which contains great content to the point where social sharing happens though likes, tweets, plus's etc, how do you then use this to effect rankings on your target page?

I would be inclined to leave the page to gather social shares and anchor text link to the target page.

Any thoughts? Basically landing page with some good content that gets shared, now what?

Encourage your users to engage with you by leaving comments or publishing on their own blog.

Social buzz generally gives some authority to rankings only because people are interacting with the content. And when users/readers interact, the content is usually good or engaging. Thus this will usually get more attractiveness to the webmasters that wish to link back to your article to give you more authority as well.

Social sharing is one metric but the effects of social media is another thing.
