-> Do social media interactions affect search rankings? The short answer: Yes. But not how you think. Social media activity affects rankings in several ways. But the direct benefit is very limited and the indirect benefit is widely misunderstood.

The study shows a connection between social activity and higher rank. Pages with Google +1s, Facebook likes, and tweets tend to rank higher. But this is a correlation, not causation.
