If the social media community follows the criteria above, you are ready to build links using profiles.
1) Brand your business name
When you create your profile, make sure to brand your business name. What this means is when you create a blog or feed within your account, make sure to put the name of your company within the blog. For example gameznstuff.blogspot.com or mattsiltala.newsvine.com. Basically it means having your brand name within URL of the web page.
2) Tell about yourself or your business
This can be done in the profile area typically under hobbies and interests or within the about us area. This is the perfect place to build link popularity for your business. An example is my interests and hobbies area from my facebook account, in which I have linked the follow major keyword phrases: Nvidia graphic cards, Computer video game cheats, this is done to help build ranking with the search engines, especially Google.
Building a Network of Friends
So now you have all of these social media communities you have signed up for, it that it? No! Now you want to add friends to you social media communities.
1) You obviously want to find bloggers that have similar interests and hobbies as you. Then do all you can to build a relationship with them.
A perfect example from my experience is a former co-worker named Brandon Buttars. We would exchange links to help each other out, and while doing this, I was receiving a lot of traffic to my blog through Brandon’s blog. It is as simple as creating a network of friends that you can share links with. By doing so you are building your link popularity and getting free traffic at the same time. Another reason for building a network of friends is that you can always bounce ideas off of each other and post those ideas on each other’s blogs.
2) Have them refer their friends
Another co-worker has close network of friends on a number social media communities as a result he is able to get on top with his article within a day or so within that social media community like www.digg.com or del.icio.us.
