On the SEO Scoop Blog the author DazzlinDonna gave us some good ideas to get a few relevant links via social networks. The article titled ‘7 Social Networks Where You Can Get Relevant Links’ lists these 7 resources:

1. Flickr (might be nofollow now)
2. Linkedin
3. Stage6
4. Del.icio.us
5. Squidoo
6. Mixx
7. Reddit

A good healthy list if you ask me. Social Networks provide a good avenue to create relevant links to your website. Many industries have their own social networks. These niche specific social networks are perfect if they provide you with a profile page of some kind where you can put your links to your website. The most desired link is the one that allows you to control your anchor text for your link. I do have two recommendations of my own that I would like to add to this list.

• Stumbleupon
• Digg
• Myspace

There are a few others that you can link from but do have a ‘nofollow’ on them. Social Networks such as Youtube and Facebook do this. And even though you are not getting page rank passed onto you from this links, you are still creating avenues for people to find your websites. So having your links in these social networks can be important as well.
