Earlier on this month, both Bing and Google finally confirmed what many in the SEO industry have been suspecting for some time – that your social media presence does indeed have an effect on where you rank in their search engines.

We all use search engines. In fact, in many ways we take them for granted. I, for one, will always hit Google if I’m looking for pretty much anything and don’t have a retailer in mind.
