20 New Social Media Icons for Your Blogs in 2016
Today, we are sharing with you a more updated roundup of the best social media icons you can download and use for free. Social media has become an important source of site visitors to any blog or website. In terms of search engine optimization (SEO), major search engines like Google and Bing are putting so much value on the popularity of a website or blog in the social media world. This means that having more backlinks from social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google Plus, etc., can make your blogs rank higher in search results.
One way to boost your social media presence is to encourage your readers to vote and share your content by putting icons that they can click on your posts and in other critical areas of your blog. For example, you can add social media icons at the end or beginning of every entry of your blog or website. I will not deal with the scripts needed to make these icons run. Instead, I will just provide you with a one-stop shop for social media icons that you will ever need in this lifetime.
