Facebook & Twitter Links – Does Google Give Them Love?
Most people already know that links from relevant and important sites have always been a great way to get traffic & acceptance for a website. But how does Google rate links from new platforms like Twitter, FB to a website? Watch the video to have Google’s own Matt Cutts give you the answers.
In summary, while Facebook and Twitter links may be treated like any other links, they do still come with things to keep in mind. For one, with Facebook, you have to keep in mind that a lot of profiles are not public. When a profile is not public, Google can’t crawl it, and it can’t assign pagerank on the outgoing links if it can’t fetch the page to see what the outgoing links are. If the page is public, it might be able to flow pagerank, Matt says. With Twitter, most links are nofollowed anyway, this helps avoid people jumping on twitter and spamming the engines with links.
