Backlinks on FB and Twitter?
-
Is it worth the time to post backlinks on a FB or twitter account?
-
Benjamin, keep in mind that the three dominant social outlets that are now being calibrated within googles algorithm are Facebook, twitter and google plus. This means a site ranking first page first spot will almost need to ensure a healthy spread of authoritive on topic links along with social outlets including low boune rates on your site. Hope this helps

I am guessing you wanted a little more than just a "Yes". So let me assume you are only asking about back links from FB/Twitter profiles.
There is certainly worth in the backlinks, what that worth is varies. But you can check your linkscape to find that twitter links are very trusted. Facebook on the other hand may not give you the same SEO benefit. But in regards to facebook, if you have followers then taking the 20 seconds to fill in the link info is worth the 20 seconds of labor. For no other reason than if people search for you on facebook you can lead them to your website.
Hope that helps.

Online press coverage: publications asking for fee to add backlink. Should I pay?
For the last few years I've been gaining steady backlinks for my clients by producing online press releases for them (e.g. publishing results of a survey they commissioned, or their expert opinion on recent news, etc). The online coverage included a backlink naturally or by me just asking the publication nicely. But recently I'm finding that publications are asking for a fee to publish the article (with a link) or they will publish the article for free, but will add a link for a fee. Note: these publications aren't link-building-sites, they're good DA sites such as https://www.femalefirst.co.uk/ and https://www.moneymagpie.com/ (MOZ DAs of 80 and 56 respectively). The fees are around $200 each. The clients can afford to pay for this type of coverage, but is there a risk in these cases with Google?

Directory Listings no longer counted in Backlinks?
Interesting situation when I looked at Google Search Console this morning, I found that back-links from directories had dropped off and am wondering if anyone else is seeing this? Specifically, I am in Australia and had links from Yellowpages.com.au and Truelocal.com.au to my primary domain. Interestingly, Yellow Pages had gone a bit crazy recently in that the number of links to my site seemed to balloon exponentially from about 50 when I first listed to 700+ to 1500+ to 1800+ and then the balloon popped. Truelocal in contrast was only ever showing the 1 link. There have not been any changes from my end, and I only ever had one listing in these directories so not sure what generated all these extra links in Yellow Pages. Anyone else in Australia noticed a sudden drop off in Google Backlinks from Directories? If not it may just be a temporary blip.

Can a sitewide backlink with exact anchor text penalize my website?
A few years ago, I exchanged a link with another website. In the meantime, this other website grew quite fast and now they just added a forum. The backlink from their website is sitewide and is using the anchor text "best web hosting". According to Google, this backlink now appears on 117,000 pages of the same domain. Yesterday, I just got a warning from Google: "We've detected that some of your site's pages may be using techniques that are outside Google's Webmaster Guidelines..." Could that sitewide link be one of the causes? Of course I know there are tons of bad links to my site but I'm wondering if I should get this one removed. Thank you for your help and sorry for my english. Stephane
