If you look at any major search engine, you see two different types of results displayed on search engine result pages for any popular keyword – paid results and organic results.

Link building through social media otherwise known as social media seo, can be roughly divided into two parts – generating back links through social networks and using social bookmarking sites to bookmark different links and rss feeds.
