Revisiting old social directories and networks to build backlinks
1. Revisiting old social directories and networks
This article is about revisiting old social directories and
networks to build website backlinks. However before

3. Social directories and networks tend to rise to fame, then
have a sharp decline in traffic.
There are a few that stay consistent, but you can probably
name a few that have seen better days.
Regardless of popularity it is unwise to only think about new
social directories and networks, when building backlinks to
your website.
Older social networks can still help you with your search
engine optimisation and shouldn’t be overlooked, just
because the bandwagon might have moved onto a new
service!
4. Remember MySpace?
How about StumbleUpon?
Remember Digg?
How about forums?
Just because the buzz about these sites has died down,
doesn’t mean you should shun them completely for
LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter!
5. To submit a website url to StumbleUpon or indeed any of the
older websites, takes seconds once you are setup with an
account.
StumbleUpon for instance makes it incredibly easier as they
have a browser addon, that once installed enables to click
‘I like it!’.
Making use of older established social networks, enables you
to build half a dozen backlinks within minutes!
6. Some seasoned SEO experts might be thinking, that is all
well and good, but what about do-follow links?
Quite frankly ‘do-follow’ links do hold more SEO juice, but
building links consistently is better than nothing, and seeing
as these services are free, it would be unwise to neglect
them.
So whether a social network provides a do-follow link or not,
you should utilise them.
7. Also it is especially unwise not to bother with these networks,
seeing as many of them still have sizeable followings.
They might be overshadowed by Facebook and Twitter in the
news, but being able to get a link, as well as a human
visitor stumble across the content is a win!
So how about forums? Never spam forums, but they have
powerful seo potential. How many times have you
searched for a solution to a problem, to discover a forum
thread discussing it and the solution?
8. This often happens and making sure you are active in the
discussions, with a great profile, signature and occasion
non-spam link in a post, again has multiple benefits for
your website traffic.
Remember overdoing your backlinking can negatively impact
your search engine placement, even resulting in the site
being blacklisted.
Yet no SEO strategy will often leave you off page 1 for search
results.

improve your search engine placement.
