Do Follow- Social Media sites
-
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?

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.

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?

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:

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

Content Strategy - High Value on Lots of Sites vs. High Value on One Site
Good afternoon Mozzers. I have a discussion based question and I'd be interested to know your thoughts. I currently implement a content strategy where we create a series of high value How-to written articles, relevant to our audience and then work at getting them placed on multiple high value websites. I have just been offered an opportunity with a PR6 domain to create a similar series of content but place it all on their site with links back to ours through a dedicated section. So my question is would I gain more value from small amounts of great content in lots of places vs. a lot of great content in on place? Effectively 1 link from 20 sites vs. 20 links from 1 site.

Can these unnatural links from a site that was hacked hurt me?
After reading the article http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/identifying-link-penalties-in-2012 I decided to do some investigating to see if I to have suffered from link penalties. After using site explorer I found a ton of over optimized unnatural links from jnjbtw.com and other pharmacy sites. See screen shot: My site is a website about kayak fishing we clearly have nothing to do with pharmacy, doctors or drugs. I know similar questions have been asked before about spam sites linking to you and if they affect you or not but this is about how overly optimized the links that are going to my site are. Would this flag penguin to add a penalty to my website? Any idea how jnjbtw.com has all these links to my site were they hacked?

How to Add Content to a Product-Focused Site
I recently took over management of the SEO work for the following site: http://www.grovercorp.com/rings-and-seals/. I want to do link building, but don't have a ton of experience with it. From what I've read, offering linkable content is the best way to get links. However, this site -- like many in industrial B-2-B -- is focused primarily on promoting their products. I'd like tto offer an article or add an infographic, but am not sure where I would put it? It doesn't seem like the architecture offers a good place to add linkable content. Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

No-Follow Tag and Advertising
Hiya! I've got a relatively new domain, and one of my goals is to be 100% white hat, squeaky clean as I really would love to see my site succeed in the long term. So far my linkbuilding efforts are going pretty well. I'm beginning to buy some ads, and some of the bloggers I'm buying ads from don't use advertising networks, they just host your jpeg from their own blog... For the little picture that will show up in the side column of their blog should this be no-followed? And if it's not do we know if google assigns a penalty? I'm ok with asking the blogger to do that, but I notice my competition is not (and I know they know better) so I feel like it puts me at a bit of a disadvantage. Secondly - I'm 100% avoiding sites that sell text links (even ones with high pagerank, like pagerank 6), is this the right path to go? I read this article from Matt Cutts and was wondering if this is still true, reputable sites that sell links maintain their pagerank but aren't able to pass pagerank? http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/text-links-and-pagerank/ "Reputable sites that sell links won’t have their search engine rankings or PageRank penalized–a search for [daily cal] would still return dailycal.org. However, link-selling sites can lose their ability to give reputation (e.g. PageRank and anchortext)."
