I am agree with u. but Social bookmarking site have not much impact on link but little bit have a chance to boost your sites with the help of bookmarking.

Thanks for sharing this information with us. What i think links from social websites are not so much effective rather than social bookmarking sites.

Hey Jordan,

You`re right, they recently changed it to make life a little harder. I`m a huge believer of high quality nofollow links still pass juice…maybe more than Matt would like to admit. I`ve seen some pretty crazy rankings from mostly nofollow high pr blog comments more than once.

Just to follow up, I did have a little go on Facebook and edited the 'website' section under my personal bit… these links were NoFollowed as I expected… but I do remember a few months back reading either an article or tip somewhere that one of the pages on FB does pass juice… I'm fairly sure it's one of the group or 'fan' type pages… if I come across it again I'll let you know.

Ok now feel free to get me worked up on future posts because I wished I had more commenters like yourself who get into it…even if I'm an ass sometimes :)

No problem, my initial comment was quite vague and I understand the frustration at rubbish comments like that. Hopefully Googles announcement before Christmas on blog spamming will see a reduction in this.

Ok now there we go searchbrat! I assumed from your first post you were just trolling with a comment like that. I was on a high spam horse that's for sure mainly because I get a shit ton of spam on here.

So I'll put my nastyness aside and thank you for getting into it more. Matt Cutts is saying specifically an .edu or .gov won't pass more juice than say a .com/org. But those links are sought after because they've been indexed and linked to so much more so than 90% of the sites out there. So the extension itself per say won't pass off more juice.

Exactly, it's not the .edu site itself, it's usually the link neighborhood it resides in that's so powerful. This is why they pass on such great PR.

I was being sarcastic, maybe you should look it up. Most people spend their lives on forums begging for edu links, I was merely commenting this is how it will be perceiving by a lot of people.
And don't be so quick to jump on your high horse. Shoemoney himself did a video (on your blog) and many other SEO gurus I know, buy up sites with links from both .edu and .gov sites because they see added value in them.
Maybe you should refrain from “wanting to smack people” until you understand both the comment and history behind it ….
