 2. It's a good way to grab readers. Here's an example:

When someone in Facebook happens to post a status like this: "My Facebook chat lags when I chat with multiple people. What's wrong with fb?" Well, if it so happens that you have an article that contains tips or tweeks on how
the user's problem can be solved, simply reply to the comment and say something like this: "Hey, I saw something on facebook chat lagging, it also says how you could fix it, heck it our here: Remove facebook chat lag. Let me know if it works for you."

An important thing to remember when you refer links from the social network sites to the targetted link, make sure that the link your providing answers their question and problems. This way, you can their trust. Otherwise, if you post floppy links, they'll still remember you, remember to not visit anything you say. It's a double edged sword, so be ready when an opportunity presents itself.

3.During the old days, you can have an SERP(Search Engine Results Page) with just simple SEO keywords. Well, that has surely change, spiders from search engines also love sites which are currently updated and has a live community.
