Just a quick insight. I work with someone who runs a small online business selling health products over the web. He swears by ffiver for SEO in addition to more well known techniques. One way he found to legitimize his business was to buy Facebook likes, Youtube subscribers, and Twitter followers. I consider this modern/social SEO. Having a social following as a business can legitimize it in other people's eyes. His business has about a 100:1 follower to following ratio, and ever since he purchases followers, hes had a large increase in real followers. This follows the herd mentality. People are more likely to follow your business and interact, if there is proof others have done so. Hope this helps

Thanks. Buying facebook and twitter followers is something I considered as well. Will keep this in mind!
