Are back links from audio sites any good?

[Aikijeff]

In light of G's view of links from directories and other sources I have heard that links for audio sites like soundcloud.com can be beneficial.

Has anyone had any positive experiences building likes from sources like this?

I wouldn't rely on them, but if they make sense in the context of how you're using them on Soundcloud then I don't see any problem with it.

For example, you may say something like...

"This was taken from our latest recording session at the world famous Abbey Road in London. We've written on our blog [link] about our experiences of recording where the Beatles once did!"

Always be thinking in terms of "if I have a link to my site here, is it going to help anybody but me?" If the answer is no - then it's not helping you either.

Depending on the site they may be valuable. Soundcloud for example has nofollow attributes on links so there's no direct link equity passed through those links.
