Do Follow- Social Media sites

[WMA]

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?

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.

I cant see how this answers my question. On this site is Twitter and Facebook. Both of these sites are no follow?

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:

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?

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.
