Do Follow- Social Media sites
-
Does anyone have a list of do follow social media network sites.
I am looking to list some of my customers on social media network sites, but having the bonus of do follow to pass link Juice is an extra bonus.
Most of my customers have Twitter and Facebook profiles- but these happen to be no follows.
I am looking for more social media sites that are do follow.
I did see an article on this- on SEM MOz I believe but I cant find it.
Any suggestions?

Have you looked through the SEOmoz blog for posts on link building? The link building category at http://www.seomoz.org/blog/category/4 has lots of ideas, including a recent excellent post on link building using events that may help some of the small business clients much more than a link from Digg where it has just one vote.
Some social sites, such as Digg, don't host the content, they just provide a link to where the content is hosted.Given that you're new to this, you might consider getting familiar with some of these concepts on some sites of your own that you can afford to mess up on before learning on client sites, unless the clients are aware that you're expanding into this area and learning as you go.

Hi Kane,
My core area is Adwords, then more recently on-page SEO.
I am very new to link building.
Thanks for that. It is not the driving force in my link building efforts. I use SEO MOZ Linkscape to build a competitors campaign to target and gain links from.
However some of the customers I have are small- and getting links manually is not easy. So I think a 2-3 social bookmarking sites that have do follow will help the link building cause significantly.
My understanding is that low competition and to a degree medium competition keywords(sometimes with geographic modifiers for local small business)- it is possible to get 1st page rankings without even using link building. I have tested this to some degree and been successful. So getting a handful of directory links that are industry based(often found within the competitors backlinks) is useful.
However I was thinking that as the top social book marking sites are not really industry specific in content- but they do have a very high domain rank. That writing an article in the top 3 like(Digg, Squidoo etc) and getting this backlink with variations of the top 3 keywords would boost rankings significantly because their competitors backlink profiles(small companies) are not very strong either.
What are your thoughts on this.
Also, with regards to social bookmarking. I imagine the content must be published first on the social website, and then pointed back to the customer website with a link contain the meta keyword. Can the customer later publish the same content on their website? How can it be attributed to the same author and not show as duplicate content? Do the social book mark sites have tags like RSS feeds to mark the authour?

You're right, but don't get totally caught up in the follow/nofollow, it's not the only value provided by the links and if it's a driving force in your link building, you're probably missing out on some valuable nofollowed links.
That said, here's a better answer to your original question - a more complete list compiled in March 2011:

There may be others once you finish those - this SERP has a few articles that might contain more options:

I cant see how this answers my question. On this site is Twitter and Facebook. Both of these sites are no follow?
-
Not all of the sites on there are followed, but if you can't find it on KnowEm.com, it's probably not worth being on (with the exception of niche sites).
That said, if you're just building profile links it won't do much good without some form of participation.

GWT Lists URLs with links to my site, but those URLs don't have links to my site
There are a number of URLs that show up for my website in Webmaster Tools as having links to my site when in fact they don't. I know this to be a fact because I actually wrote some of the sites that Google is saying are linking to my site and I know there isn't any links on the specific pages to that site. For example, the site in question is: https://www.liftproducts.com/ As an example, Google is saying that about 100 URLs from https://www.lift-tables.net/ are linking to it when, I'm fairly confident that there is only 1 link to it found here: https://www.lift-tables.net/info.php?countrytabs=3 Yet Google says links exist on this (and many more) page: https://www.lift-tables.net/liftproducts/max-lift/lpt4w-030-48.php I thought at first it might have been due to linking to a image file directly instead of locally hosting it, but after checking the source, that's not the case. I am also seeing this type of non-linking being reported on sites I have no clue what they are. For example, some Spanish site about tandem bicycles is being listed as linking to liftproducts.com: http://206-225-85-34.dedicated.abac.net/tandem/inc Yet I can find no evidence of an actual link existing. Am I missing something here? Any insight of why this is happening and how I can clean up my link signature would be appreciated.

When does Google Webmaster update your links to site??
Hi everyone We removed a load of links from a site over 2 months ago but they still show in Google webmaster tools. I understand Google will not be reading this links as they were removed so long ago. However I just was interested when Google might update these as not showing as linking to us anymore. I like to try and keep things tidy and its a bit frustrating it would be good to be 100% sure what Google is counting at any given time. Cheers James

So I ran into a site that was not ranking 4 days ago and has over 2 million links to it on some keywords. My guess is this is a link bomb, but the issue is this is pushing one of my sites down. Does anyone know a good way to over come a bomb like this?
So I ran http://www.riogrande.com/ into this site not that long ago and wanted to see if any other SEO's have an opinion on it. I've seen a Google bomb before, but the amount of links going into this URL is insane. The thing is how does one over come a Google Bomb? Do you just wait to see what Google does or do you just hope to rank under that URL? I should also note that it appears that all the keywords to it are relevant to the sites content. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Social Bookmarking as part of an SEO strategy?
Hi all, I was wondering on my commute to work this morning the effectiveness of Social Bookmarking as part of a SEO campaign. The sites I work on generally have the social bookmarking widgets and they do get used by website visitors. In addition to this we also bookmark our sites, new articles and other new content within the top 5 social bookmarking sites. This is all done as part of a wider social strategy. But could I be spending my time better else where? Whats everyones thoughts on Social Bookmarking and do you incorporate it in your SEO campaigns? Cheers Aran UPDATE: I note that SEOmoz Q&A only have Tweet, Like and Stumble...

Linking to root domain or specific sub-site
Hello, When optimizing for multiple keywords, should I try to get links back to the root domain of the company I work with, or would it be better to link back to sub-sites specific to the keyword I am optimizing for? Does 'getting the root up' help all keywords I work with? Cheers, Mike

One client, one b2b site and one b2c site - linking relationship
I have a client that has 2 websites in a particular industry. The first website concentrates on advertising services and products to other organisations/companies but does not sell anything online. The second website is an ecommerce site with many products from the same industry and is more a b2c operation. Would it be considered ok to add maybe 5 footer links from one to the other and vice versa? considering that they are footer links and will ultimately increase total links pointing to both site exponentially. Both sites are hosted in the same location.
