Since August 11th We have been dropping 5 to 10% in Organic Search Traffic ?
We are now producing as more quality content/ blogs/YouTube videos Facebook and Google plus posts, then ever before.We taking a look at our pages, author tags, paying more attention to titles and meta descriptions.
we are not acting Spammy in any way, or at least not that we can see.But for some reason, Google analytics Stats are just going down week after week, our website is www.safari365.com
Can anyone help us see what we are doing wrong ?

Having a look at your backlink profile, you lost alot of links around that time, but not referring domains. I wonder if you deleted a sitewide backlink somehow. These can give boosts of rankings for a few weeks, but will most likely give you a penalty at some point.
You have quite a few other sitewide backlinks, but they are not that bad (33-40 links each) except pcdynamiceng.com which has 162 according to ahrefs..
I have see alot worse though, so cannot say if this is your problem.
Another thing is the time of year... at the end of the summer people may not look for as many holidays etc. Have you got metrics going back to last year to compare?. This may not be relevant, but new sites get a nice boost for the first month or so as Google tries to ascertain whether they are popular \ useful etc. It could be that this boost has simply faded away (I notice the site has copyright 2013).
All I would recommend at this time, is focus on good quality content and spread that around on your social channels etc. I would also review all sitewide backlinks, and try to replace those with relevant homepage backlink or editorial backlink.

Without assessing your site I can say you may not be doing anything wrong.
During Google's recent rolling algo changes we saw a drop in traffic of about 20% during the similar time frame you suggest.
We've recovered about 15% of that lost traffic and continue in the direction of the traffic levels prior to those changes.
We're white hat in what we do and this recent algo update is the only time we've actually lost significant traffic.
I usually don't over-react to Google's pendulum swings as things typically return to normal.

Does adding a twitter or facebook feed to a website help rankings in regards of providing fresh content?
I have been asked if this is a sufficient way to provide fresh content to a website, however I am unsure if Google considers this as "fresh content", and I can't seem to come across a clear answer. Any thoughts?

What is the best social backlink checker available right now?
I want a tool that i can enter a domain into and get all the social backlinks available. Preferably the tool that keeps the most recent database of this information. I'm willing to pay for the tool, it does not need to be free. Not sure if i'm using the right terminology here, by "social backlinks" i mean Facebook Shares, Twitter RT's, Google +'s, etc.

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?
