22 DoFollow Social Media Sites Offering Profile Links
by Jeff Quipp.
Are links your nemisis rather than a powerful tool?
In last week's post I talk about 4 alternative uses of social media. Point #2 I mentioned in that piece talked about "generating direct backlinks", though I wasn't able to elaborate as much as I would have liked to.
Obviously there are many ways to get links from social media. One such technique is to establish profiles on various social media, and link from your profile on those sites, back to your web site. The key obviously is in knowing which social media sites permit links, and which permit DoFollow links.
To save you some time, here are a list of 22 such sites that we're aware of:
1. Digg
2. Propeller
3. Flickr
4. Kirtsy
5. LinkedIn
6. Current
7. PostonFire
8. BloggingZoom
9. CoRank
10. Technorati
11. MyBlogLog
12. Bumpzee
13. LinkaGoGo
14. Bibsonomy
15. Mister-Wong
16. MyLinkVault
17. ClipClip
18. 9Rules
19. AssociatedContent
20. Blogoria
21. NowPublic
22. MemeStreams
Edit: June 12, 2008:
23. Mixx … thanks to Matt Mcgee (Small Business SEM)
24. Edopter … thanks to Andy Murdoch (mmmeeja.com)
I intend to keep updating this list over time so bookmark it now. Also, if you're aware of any such social media site, please leave a comment and let us know. We'll add it to the comprehensive list, and will link back to each person's site doing so.
Enjoy … and happy link building!

Not sure if you're still updating this list or not but some of these sites seem to have gone either the nofollow route, most notably Flickr, or started passing the outbound links through a redirect, like Propeller and LinkedIn have done.
I'd be interested in seeing an up-to-date version of this list.
Thanks, Simply register your targeted brand name or name as your profile name and you are ready to manage your own reputation.
Hey, thanks for this list.The older version of 9rules has all of this contained on one domain, but we have since made some changes to lessen the confusion and build up individual communities catering to specific genres.
Should I not bother at all getting backlinks if I know they are no follow?
Thanks for this list - very, very helpful! I appreciate your hard work compiling it!
