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

World.edu -- is that a good website to get a backlink from?
I saw the "World.edu" as a place to get a small blog and could create backlinks. But it seems like it may be a PBN which google doesn't like. What are your thoughts of world.edu?

NoFollow & Directory Scraper Backlinks
I was wondering how important it was to remove/disavow: NoFollow backlinks - many ("buy viagra" etc). Directory backlinks - many questionable/generic directories. Obviously the focus is the equity passing links but both of the above constitute a significant proportion of backlinks to the site - I've seen that "scrapers" are seen as natural and obviously NoFollow do not pass link juice - but does the sheer number have a bearing and therefore make them equally important to address? Thanks in advance for your responses. Regards

Good/Bad Backlinks - Penalties
Just a quick question from someone that is extremely new to this: If "G" penalizes sites for bad backlinks (low quality, spammy) then why are people not building these types of links towards the competitors that are currently outranking them? Or are they? and if they are, is it beneficial? (are your competitors dropping in rankings?) Seems like a fair question.... Any insight is appreciated

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>
