Why haven’t you heard of these link sources before? You have. But you’ve
probably been told they are a waste of time by your Web developer, who
claims these big, popular sites aren’t useful for Google optimization.

The reason is that most powerhouse social media sites like Facebook and
YouTube put a small piece of code called ‘the no follow’ tag into most
areas of their site. As the name implies, the ‘no follow’ tells search
engines: if someone tries to build backlinks to their site from here,
don’t follow it. Instead, ignore it.

engines: if someone tries to build backlinks to their site from here,
don’t follow it. Instead, ignore it.
This was and is done to prevent spammers. If you didn’t have the
‘no-follow’ tag, spammers would create thousands of Facebook profiles,
LinkedIn profiles, and YouTube accounts just to link those sites back to
their website. The ‘no-follow’ breaks the connection you are
trying to make between one website and the next, defeating the purpose
of a link from the perspective of Google optimization (people can of course still click the link and visit your site directly).

But it’ s a fallacy that all social media sites have no-follows. In fact, many sites provide juicy link opportunities. You just need to find them. And we did.
These are all real links, and are entirely legitimate and approved for optimization by Google.

We recommend creating profiles for key employees and founders. Be sure to add custom links with anchor text (“anchor text†is the actual words that comprise the link.You
want these to be search terms for which you want to be found, not your
name or company name. This anchor text helps Google determine what other
sites think your site is about) . Your profile link on Google Profiles
will be devoid of a no – follow and you can add much additional
information along with the link including videos and photos. These
profiles are especially important now that Google Plus has launched.

Digg is great for traffic generation, and while not the powerhouse it
once was, is still a large community. Plus, you can submit articles you
want to promote, and links to those articles are followed by search
engines.

When You Build Backlinks Be Complete
When it comes to Google Places, Local Listings, LinkedIn and basically
all your social pages and profiles, a complete profile is much more
powerful than an incomplete one. It’s just more information that search
engines can use to figure out what you and your website are about. So
fill out all the details and include your main keywords in those
profiles (for example, ‘we are a landscape company from Dallas
specializing in large commercial and educational institution projects’).

All of this takes a bit of time and grunt work, but if you do it Google
will have a richer collection of sites pointing back to yours in a
consistent, powerful way.
