Backlinks on FB and Twitter?

[sportsman87]

Is it worth the time to post backlinks on a FB or twitter account?

Yes.

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.

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
