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.

Hi Experts! Here is my Question for you. I am doing a link exchange in a legit way to increase sales for my site and my associate's site. My associate just wants a sales increase and no link juice.

What are some Boilerplate Link-Building Activities for a new site?
Assuming you have built a new sophisticated site that involves high user engagement as in bounce rate < 30% sophisticated genuine content (pages > 2000 chars) best possible site speed what are some of the boilerplate link building activities you would execute under which considerations? Activities: I am thinking of things along the lines of building X social media links using a fiverr submission to curated link directories reach out for high quality links with thought leaders etc Considerations: I am thinking of things along the lines of keep a constant link gain velocity over the first 3 months make sure you place links across pages not just the root domain make sure you have a mix of follow and no-follow links and a natural anchor text distribution In short I am hoping we can crowdsource a linkbuilding starting guide in the SEO world of 2015. /T

Open Site Explorer Changed?
I am getting this at the bottom of Open Site Explorer. I have never seen this message before. "Why does my number of inbounds links listed not match my total links count? The listed number may be slightly different because we only show 25 links per domain (so that you see a variety). Additionally you have 18 links from no-indexed pages. Unfortunately, we can't get info for those links." Did SEOMoz change something? If I look at a site, SEOMOZ's OSE doesn't show me all the links it can find anymore? It only shows 25 max???

Subdomain or no subdomain ? About location of a special page on the site
I have a blog on interior decoration and I have made a Wordpress Plugin which is not at all related to the niche of my blog...I have created this plugin in the hope that I might get backlinks due to this...but am not sure whether I should keep the plugin documentation page on some page of the blog itself like www.example.com/blog/plugin-page/ or on some subdomain like plugin-page.example.com

Link building and directory links to a new site
I have three new sites all hosted on the same server in the same public html folder and each site is in a different folder inside the public html folder. These sites are a listing of live music venues in different cities in Texas. Should I link these sites together to increase page rank to each other and also put key search phrases in the anchor text and place these links in the text in the center of each page of each site to make the links more effective? Also, because the sites are about a year old they don't have many inlinks yet. If i submit them to about 50 directories will Google not like this because there are way more directory links than natural links? I've been told that it is trouble to have more than about 50% directory links compared to natural links. Thanks in advance for your answers! Take care,

If I write a PR release on a site such as PRweb with anchor-text links that is picked up and published by other news sites, do the engines consider this duplicate content or additional, beneficial links?
I recently wrote a news release on PRweb that was picked up identically by 8 other news websites, with the same anchor-text links as the original. Is the reproduction of duplicate content and links across different websites like this to the benefit or detriment of SEO and ranking power? Some of the links are: http://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/view/pressrelease/eventa-new-eventa-christmas-parties-website-is-launched-648923?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Alert&utm_content=pressrelease http://www.prweb.com/releases/christmasparties/neweventasite/prweb8562064.htm Many thanks!!
