Hi,
Is it true that having a Facebook Fan page, tweeting and blogging all help with SEO?

Short answer: social profiles, tweets and blogs help SEO — but mostly indirectly. They increase discoverability, drive referral traffic and make it easier to earn real backlinks and engagement signals that search engines notice. See Google’s overview of how search works and a practical industry take on social + SEO for background: How Search Works and Moz — Social Media and SEO.

Context for this thread: good point, . What described is common — a growing social presence often coincides with better rankings — but that is usually correlation through more shares, visits and earned links rather than a direct algorithm boost. And is on the right track: social profiles and posts help pages get found, but many platforms mark external links in ways that limit direct “link juice,” so treat social as a visibility and distribution channel, not a shortcut.

Practical steps you can use right away: claim and complete official social profiles with a canonical site link; make content easy to share (Open Graph/Twitter Card tags and visible share buttons); amplify best content to target sites/influencers so you earn follow backlinks; and measure results with Google Search Console and analytics (track referral traffic, impressions and backlinks). Final note: focus on useful content and real link acquisition — social helps magnify what you already do well.

i'm not sure if it really works but after having a facebook fanpage of 3000 users and 2000 likes of my site it helped me achieve a google pagerank of 5 in one year. :)

If you put links of you site to these social site then it helps with SEO
