Improving page rank for a social media profile?
-
What are some ways to build links to social media page that links back to your website?
Example: Building links to my Pinterest page that links back to my website.
Who do we pump up the Pinterest page?
-
There are a handful of Social media websites that offer do follow links, like the newer Pinterest business page, or a Crunch Base page. I have even come across people that have do follow links from the Flickr profile that has a Page rank of 5.
I agree that I don't want to waste to much time on this, but I have seen some people that have taken this idea to a whole new level.

It's just to confirm that the links represent the same person or company. So the link markup for your Twitter account (with alt, width etc. removed) would be:
<a< span="">href="http://twitter.com/example" rel="me"></a<> -
When you provide someone else with content for them to publish you could include your profile link as a way for others to learn more about you.
The real question is why would I want to visit your social media profiles? if there is a good reason for sending me to your profile (as a person) then include it as you would include any other link to your site when you are looking to send visitors to it, however if the goal is to just increase the number of links then I think you are working on the wrong problem.
I hope this helps

What is 'rel=me' and how does it help your seo. I have a few social links on my webpage but not sure I have it set up right.

"But, I am not getting a clue of why someone should invest time building links of a social profile when the link from the social profile to your page is no followed (in most cases)?"
One reason would be to dominate page 1 of the SEs with your brand name.
As for building links to social profiles, there are Pinterest directories (search Google for them) but as I haven't looked at any of them I couldn't vouch for the quality. There are also Twitter directories; Topsy, Twellow and Klout for example.
You could comment on relevant blogs and use your social profiles as your link (most will be nofollow, but it should be about building an audience (if your social profiles are useful to this audience) by posting valuable comments - and it can lead to further links).
It'll help to link to your social profiles from your own website(s) using 'rel=me' in the anchor tag.

In my opinion profile pages are similar to any other page or URL so building links idea will be the same like any other URL. Like mentioning it on your emails, adding this on other social profiles like facebook, twitter, about.me and more...
But, I am not getting a clue of why someone should invest time building links of a social profile when the link from the social profile to your page is no followed (in most cases)?

How To Remove Fake Social Media Likes
Hi there Mozzers, Unfortunately I used a black hat seo company for my website at http://greatedmontonhomes.ca in the past. Over the last while I've been able to clean up quite a few of the bad links going to the site, but the company also engaged in buying fake Facebook likes and Tweets. Is there any way to clean these up? Guy

Getting Connections to Follow LinkedIn Company Page
I've just started a freelance contract with a client promoting their content over social media, primarily Twitter and LinkedIn. As I've started to manager their accounts, I noticed they have set up both a personal LinkedIn page under the company name as well as a Company Page. The "personal" account has 330 connections but the Company Page only has 17 followers. Has anyone had success with a good strategy for quickly and effectively promoting the Company Page to the personal connections? I'd like to actually migrate the connections over to the Company Page, which should be the primary focus. Thanks for any help.

Leverage other peoples author rank for your site?
Hi quick question, lets say you find writers in your niche and get them to do a guest post for your site and they have also built up alot of author rank (active google+ account, tones of social media followers). From my understanding you cannot leverage their author rank for your site since their google+ profile needs to be connected to your site? Unless it connected, you will not get any author rank benefit? Cheers, Mark
