Social SEO - A Few New Web 2.0 SEO Profiles

I spent a couple hours the other day going though a list of web 2.0 sites I've been meaning to check out. I went through the whole registering process and filled out as many sections as possible in order the test the full possibilities of these social networks. The main things I recorded were; do I get a link and if so is it redirected or no followed? How many members are their? What's the site's Alexa rank and Page Rank? And what types of media can I upload? If I found a social network that met my criteria, I marked it as a website I will spend more time enjoying and making the best of socially and SEO organically.

Here are a fraction of the social networks I just recently joined and plan to heavly get involved in.

Boomer411.com - This is a social networking site for baby boomers. Very active site with a growing amount of visitors joining everyday. I liked that I was able to have my own profile and bookmark sites that others submitted. Here's My SEO by the Hour Profile on Boomer411.

Blip.tv - If you have any videos, join Blip.tv. This site does a great job at making you feel like you have your own tv show on a tv channel with a faithful group of viewers. I started it with my Flickr SEO Video. I just like the fill of this site. Very fun, yet professional.

BuddyMarks.com - This is kinda like Delicious, but with less traffic and not as advanced. It's a personal bookmarking page. That's it! But, one thing it does have is followed links, unlike Delicious. And to me, this is muy bueno.

Dealigg.com - If you are an affiliate marketer that knows how to work redirects, doorways and/or link cloaking, this site could be one of your favorite sites to visit. Or, if you are someone that likes to find a bargain, this site puts a twist on classifieds and discount purchasing by adding a social aspect to it. They gave me a unique profile page that can be indexed by the engines. My SEO Profile Page on Dealigg.

Eyespot.com - I like this site all around. It's very fun to me because it allows me to upload all my media in one place and let's my friends comment and or tag them. Beside that, I get to create my own blog. To me, it's a cleaner MySpace which I plan on user a lot more of in the VERY near future.

Furl.net - Another Digg, Delicious, Magnolia etc. The difference is the whole layout and how they catergorize your bookmarks. It sets it up in archives making it easier to retrieve past bookmarks. As long as you can remember the day, month, week or year you bookmarked a site, you will have no problem finding old bookmarks.

Like I said, this was just a few profiles I've created and I have many more to go. Just remember to ask yourself one question once you create your profile. Now that I have a profile, how do I get Google to recognize it?

Here's a clue:

"Passing juice from established pages to new unindex pages by linking to them is a great way to help Google find those undiscovered pages WORTH indexing."
