article directories aren't as effective since the major panda update a while ago.

social bookmarking has its place, just like anything else. Do not bookmark from hundreds or thousands of low quality, PR 0 social bookmarking sites. It;s unnatural and Google will know what you are doing. Instead focus on fewer, high quality social bookmarks. Major social bookmarking sites help you get crawled and indexed faster, as long as you do it naturally

Any reason to nofollow outbound links to social platforms?

This one is stumping me - a site I'm working on has decided to nofollow all of their outbound links to LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. I can't find a reason for doing that...I think it's from the old and mistaken suspicion that this would deliver link equity away from the site. Everything I've read says that there's no downside to dofollow outbound links as long as they are to legit sites and on the up-and-up (e.g., not overly link-trading with another site, for instance). Thoughts?

Does social media presence + inbound links outweigh bad SEO?

Some of our competitors have SEO errors in the thousands, yet rank much higher than us for keywords that we're targeting. The SEO errors are duplicate content, titles, and 404 errors. We've successfully nailed down much of our SEO issues to a bare minimum, although not eliminated them completely, so we're at a loss as to why we aren't gaining much ground. From what we can tell, the difference between us and them is they have a large amount of inbound links to their site plus popular social media presence. Can it be inferred from this that an active social media presence and large inbound link count outweigh bad SEO practices? What else should we be looking for to help pinpoint why we're not gaining rank with the keywords we're targeting?

Social Signals Question

Hello, If I have a landing page which contains great content to the point where social sharing happens though likes, tweets, plus's etc, how do you then use this to effect rankings on your target page? I would be inclined to leave the page to gather social shares and anchor text link to the target page. Any thoughts? Basically landing page with some good content that gets shared, now what?

What do the "best" backlink profiles look like, in terms of percentages from quality content, bookmarks, social media, directories, etc?

I recognize that there is no such thing as one ideal link profile, per se, but I am curious, if you sampled 100 high authority sites, what would their inbound links look like on average, broken out by source type? Some sites would have a ton of social sharing due to their funny pop-cultural content, while others might be quoted and linked in context for their brilliant insights. A very technical resource might gain a lot of links from forum discussions. If I can complete this exercise on my own, I welcome your advice on how to do that with OSE or the like.
