Backlinks on Facebook
-
Has anyone seen the benefits of adding backlinks back to their main site on their facebook page?
Also, what about uploading a bunch of pictures of your products onto facebook, and on each picture putting the link directly to that specific product?
Anyone know if there is any benefit in doing this?
Thanks...

Hi,
You've got some good answers there with regard to the Facebook links. If you're looking to post images, I'd use pinterest.com. Use the Google Chrome plugin to pin the images directly from your site and you get a do-follow link back. The value of the link is up for debate due the sheer size of the site but I've seen decent traffic levels coming from Pinterest recently.
Make sure you write a decent description for each image you pin, engage with other users and I'm sure you'll see results.

1. Yes links from Facebook are "No-follow" but that they don't have ANY value is up for discussion.
Here is a great article on Sphinn where some very good SEO post some comments on their thoughts on the value of nofollow links. I would suggest you read though them and draw your own conclusions. ttp://sphinn.com/story/161185
2. "So don't spend your time on it and try to find some relevant websites for your industry and place your links there, and you'll see the result."
I completely agree. If it's strong backlinks that you are after focus on industry relevant sites for better results.

3. There is plenty of SEO value in Social Media. Here is a great article on The SEO value in Facebook & Twitter. Placing random backlinks on Facebook will not get you the results you need.

Hi there,
Actually links from Facebook don't carry any value for Search Engine Optimization! Because all of them closed with "No-follow" tag and images as well! So don't spend your time on it and try to find some relevant websites for your industry and place your links there, and you'll see the result.
However strong Facebook page for your company may bring you some extra inquiries and make a good impact for your brand !
Cheers,
Russel

Could someone be sabataging my site by bad backlinks?
Hello, As I have said before I am new to SEO and especially new to this type of software. I am trialing MOZ, ahrefs and MajesticSEO. I just used the Site Explorer on ahrefs and it showed me that a bunch of backlinks was created today but I haven't engaged anyone in "SEO" for many months. Why would this be? See the image for a screenshot. yhpUxFv.png

How do I get rid of these nofollow backlinks from 1 comment I made?
I wrote a comment on another blog and now every single time that blog posts an article, it comes up as a nofollow backlink in OpenExplorer. It is really annoying to see when I check for new follow backlinks. I just wrote ONE comment on ONE blog post. How can I stop this? There are at least 10 showing up today! Thanks!

How long for backlinks to kick in?
Lets say you do a guest post, Google indexes the article which must mean it has found the link back. Would you expect to see movement straight away? Some of my latest guest posts (in the last week) have been indexed but have shown no movement at all, but when I check WMT for links coming in they are not in the list so im guessing they have not taken full effect?

On-Page Report Rel Canonical and keyword density and backlinks...
Hey guys, 1- In the On-Page Report the "Appropriate Use of Rel Canonical" is not checked and it says <dl> <dt>Canonical URL "http://www.mydomain.com/"</dt> <dt>We check to make sure that IF you use canonical URL tags, it points to the right page. If the canonical tag points to a different URL, engines will not count this page as the reference resource and thus, it won't have an opportunity to rank.</dt> <dt>the domain points to the right page... Im not understading why its checked off..??? could it be because the canonical url has the ".com/" instead of just ".com" ???</dt> <dt>2- it also shows that the Total Keyword Usage for this Page = 33 , is this good or bad? too little or too much?</dt> <dt>3- Also when building backlinks should I include the ".com/" or ".com" ??</dt> <dt>Thank you in advance! </dt> </dl>
