Backlinks on Facebook

[Prime85]

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.

Here is a brief hint from Matt Cutts on social links flowing rank (for what its worth): http://youtu.be/UxTmZulcQZ0

Ruslan-

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
