Last night I was playing around with MyBlogLog. I set it up, and connected a few of my social bookmarking accounts to it. What impressed me is the fact that each link on my profile page points to my profile of each account without a nofollow tag. MyBlogLog Profile Has anyone used this for backlinks to your social bookmarking pages?
If you're talking about the links to your twitter and delicious profiles under your activity on the right side of the page, why wouldn't they follow the links? The links are pointed to HIGHLY trusted sites and they are going to provide you absolutely no benefit other than passing a tiny bit of PR to the profile pages. With link text of "Twitter" and "Delicious", the links will help your rank for the keyword phrases "twitter" and "delicious" and that's it. And you're even with these links and 100 others with "twitter" and "delicious" you're not likely to make it to even the top 1000 positions for keyword phrases "twitter" and "delicious" in this lifetime. Nice observation, but worthless from an SEO perspective IMO.
Yeah, I guess that's a good point. I wasn't really looking at it from an SEO perspective for keyword ranking, I was thinking more about just having the backlinks to our profile pages on the different social bookmarking sites for crawling purposes
