How to get backlinks? – Social Sites
Social Networking Blogs are essentially blogs hosted by somebody else that you get to maintain. Here are some popular Social Sites:
- www.HubPages.com
- www.Squidoo.com
- www.Weebly.com
- www.FaceBook.com
- www.MySpace.com
Let’s take the example of Squidoo. Specially Google; and some other engines love this site. At Squidoo you can put your page called as ‘Lens’ If you see, most squidoo pages gets a very good PR(PageRank).
You can use these pages in many ways for getting traffic like promoting your any blog content or for squeeze pages for any affiliate product.
But please before using these sites always check their rules for publishing any content for promoting any kind product. Well, Sites like Squidoo and Facebook will let you be blatantly commercial since they actually like marketers to make use of their sites, but sites lke MySpace and HubPages won’t permit you to do so.
Also, when you write article on your blog; you can update your content at these sites to announce the new article. Give readers a small blurb about the article, and then give them a link back to your main blog so that they can get the full article to read.
I hope you have liked reading the article and will try thie method for getting backlinks which will also provide you some good quality traffic.

There are lots of great social networking sites…..more keep popping up.
Some (like Yelp.com) start as a regional phenomenon, then expand to the rest of the US eventually.

Squidoo doesn’t work good (and some of the others) unless you make an effort to also promote those links. Pages don’t get any PR unless they’re either on the top 100 lists or in featured in tons of groups.

When starting a link building campaign (or continuing one), you want to be able to check your progress and see if you are indeed building any backlinks to your site. You want to be able to see if any of the links are “nofollow“, what anchor text is being used for the links, and what quality of site the links are on.

Do not use all of the sites listed. This will be a waste of your time that could be used for building links. Instead, find the few that work best for your site, and don’t compare the stats between the sites.

Hi Typhoon,
Personally, I like HubPages So Much, Simply Coz I had most success with it.
.
For Facebook, I think you can buid valuable links only on Facbook Fan Page. So Correct Me If I’m wrong
You can Also Build LinkS On Vox, LiveJounral and other free Hosted Blog.
Thanks

Is that still true? “Squidoo. Specially Google; and some other engines love this site.”
My recent experience shows that Squidoo is not getting that much love anymore from Google.

Google still loves Squidoo and a clear example is that Google now serves some interlinks to squidoo results for some keywords.

Hi, I think your article on getting back links via social sites is great! I always thought sites like facebook don’t amount to nothing for back links because google don’t index your activities inside them, but you cleared somethings out for me! thanks bro.
