Is it a good idea to post articles from "enemy" competitor websites on niche site social media accounts? I notice articles from Family Handyman and Wikihow on the DenGarden Facebook page.
It's common practice on business pages. I think the point is to keep followers engaged and keep the content coming. Seems kind of monotonous, borderline hokey, otherwise.

Yes! It's important to post a variety of content so as not to come across as "spammy" or boring.
It seems to me articles were not in quetion? How does this apply to hubpage site? I mean the none niche site. Many thanks.
If they have an active page with an active audience and not just subscriber numbers they would be posting a variety of stuff too. Most successful social media accounts don't stick to just their brand because that seems self-centered and spammy because their followers are interested in a certain kind of content and not just a particular brand.
If I am getting this correctly, HP allows competitive sites to post on our niche sites as examples given by eugbug. Dengarden is one of my best-producing niches. Could this be why?
Would reciprocal links be a bad idea Googlewise? I.e. getting the aforementioned sites to post links to Dengarden on Facebook?
A bad idea, nope. Does it provide any Google search benefits? None at all or nothing that is worth the trouble. Extra traffic through their followers would be welcomed.
If there's an obvious tit-for-tat pattern, then yes, I think Google might penalise it because that's gaming the system. You might remember years ago, it was common for websites to exchange reciprocal links and Google penalised that heavily once they got wise to it.
Not at all. Google penalised unnatural linking where websites just worked on reciprocal linking. Techcrunch and washable (or something else) grew together with loads of links between each other. The difference was that they were actually related to each other and the links were helpful.
Another reason I disagree is that whatever happens on a social media platform cannot affect the website. Social media is meant for sharing stuff.

If we pump up our use of social media, i.e., marketing our articles more, will it help increase our traffic much? Or won't it make much difference because we are more dependent upon organic traffic? Something tells me we might have to wait out this drought. What say you?

Just wondering what sites Hubbers use to promote their articles? I have seen a lot of changes over the years with some sites no longer allowing links in forums or comments, and some article sharing sites just going away. I primarily use Facebook and Twitter these days to share my...
