Hi there,

I have a social networking website and I have put some graphic comments and text links on myspace in my friends comment sections but they are not appearing as backlinks whenever i have looked for them and I just wanted to know why?

I also created a facebook profile too for my website and again it is not appearing as a backlink.

Any help with this will be gratefully received.

Many thanks.

Myspace and facebook redirect you - click on a link on myspace and you get the page saying you are now leaving myspace right? That is a redirect and means links out of myspace etc are not picked up as backlinks. So its good if you get traffic, but for SEO backlinking its utterly futile.
