Improving page rank for a social media profile?
-
What are some ways to build links to social media page that links back to your website?
Example: Building links to my Pinterest page that links back to my website.
Who do we pump up the Pinterest page?
-
There are a handful of Social media websites that offer do follow links, like the newer Pinterest business page, or a Crunch Base page. I have even come across people that have do follow links from the Flickr profile that has a Page rank of 5.
I agree that I don't want to waste to much time on this, but I have seen some people that have taken this idea to a whole new level.

It's just to confirm that the links represent the same person or company. So the link markup for your Twitter account (with alt, width etc. removed) would be:
<a< span="">href="http://twitter.com/example" rel="me"></a<> -
When you provide someone else with content for them to publish you could include your profile link as a way for others to learn more about you.
The real question is why would I want to visit your social media profiles? if there is a good reason for sending me to your profile (as a person) then include it as you would include any other link to your site when you are looking to send visitors to it, however if the goal is to just increase the number of links then I think you are working on the wrong problem.
I hope this helps

What is 'rel=me' and how does it help your seo. I have a few social links on my webpage but not sure I have it set up right.

"But, I am not getting a clue of why someone should invest time building links of a social profile when the link from the social profile to your page is no followed (in most cases)?"
One reason would be to dominate page 1 of the SEs with your brand name.
As for building links to social profiles, there are Pinterest directories (search Google for them) but as I haven't looked at any of them I couldn't vouch for the quality. There are also Twitter directories; Topsy, Twellow and Klout for example.
You could comment on relevant blogs and use your social profiles as your link (most will be nofollow, but it should be about building an audience (if your social profiles are useful to this audience) by posting valuable comments - and it can lead to further links).
It'll help to link to your social profiles from your own website(s) using 'rel=me' in the anchor tag.

In my opinion profile pages are similar to any other page or URL so building links idea will be the same like any other URL. Like mentioning it on your emails, adding this on other social profiles like facebook, twitter, about.me and more...
But, I am not getting a clue of why someone should invest time building links of a social profile when the link from the social profile to your page is no followed (in most cases)?

Way to reset Facebook page Reach sending patterns
I have a client that posts a bunch of really poorly formatted and nonengaging content on her a Facebook business page. This has caused her reach to be very low, despite having 9000 real followers. Due to a history of poor content and therefore low engagement Facebook just does not send her stuff out anymore. Is there a way to change that? I heard you could reset that notion by staying off the page for a couple of weeks and then beginning to post once more with better stuff. Is that remotely true?

Suggested Social Stream Solution for Wordpress
Hi, I was looking for some ideas on Wordpress for social streaming. What I am looking for is to show my activity in the right sidebar of a blog. I would like to capture this in an attractive way. My site has a lot of pictures so visual is very important. Now having some some searching there are a thousand "share this" type plugins. My need is different in that I want to show the activity of what I am sharing in: FB, Pinterest, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. I found this plugin below that has several nice formats. Since the column is 325 wide I can easily use one of the longer streaming looking options. http://codecanyon.net/item/wordpress-social-stream/full_screen_preview/2201708 http://codecanyon.net/theme_previews/2201708-wordpress-social-stream?index=1&url_name=wordpress-social-stream Let me know if you have some other suggestions. One thing I don't want to to is tank page load speed. In this I could not elect to rotate. Nonetheless, this is what I am hoping for so I would welcome your feedback. Thanks,

Social media profiles with same description - Duplicate content or reinforcing business details?
Hi, I am currently doing a Social media review and find myself wondering whether having exactly the same copy - or part thereof, on a businesses' Facebook, LinkedIn, G+, Twitter, profile(s) is likely to be viewed by SE's as a good or bad thing? Is it duplicate content and to be avoided? Or would it be viewed as a case of the business trying to ensure a consistent profile and therefore reinforcing your business details?

UK home improvement - building links or social shares?

Search for double glazing inurl:forum pvc doors inurl:forum and locate forums, but what is the best approach answer questions with the web address in the signature of the post? Looking at the major national players in opensite explorer such as anglianhome.co.uk

valuedoorsuk.co.uk
yaledoor.co.uk/ Their backlink profiles look quite spammy? as they mostly point to web directories So is there a gap that I can take advantage of? We have little budget for sponsored articles on sites like what anglian have been doing looking at the backlinks but are there any other articles that I could write for our site that would help improve quality links to the site for keywords such as conservatories, double glazing, pvc doors, pvc windows, composite doors Same with their social profiles they seem quite poor, what would be the best approach on Facebook and Twitter to attract local followers - the majority of social followers I have seen have been fellow marketers or rival companies on the follower lists of twitter Many Thanks0 -
