My wife has recently become a regular blogger for her side photography business (shameless plug for Redwall Photo). She’s seen that networking herself drives traffic. Twitter, Flickr, LiveJournal, Myspace: They all provide her link juice, but what would an SEO expert say about this? Are the links NoFollow? How many hits do you get? Is it worth your time?
People complained when Flickr enabled their NoFollow feature on links. Blogs and forums that apply this “feature” don’t have as much value in the eyes of the pros. But they do. If you consider the traffic that source has, the readership the blog supports, or the scope of it’s audience, that NoFollow link can give you the traffic you were hoping for.
But it’s not guaranteed!
