I have been getting most of my backlinks from social media websites like Pinterest, Twitter, etc... How do you get backlinks to add SEO value?

Quick, practical update for link-building that actually helps rankings (reading this years after the original posts). asked about social backlinks — they help distribution and referral traffic but rarely replace earned editorial links. Several replies here point to directories, guest posts and social — useful tactics, but some suggestions (for example 's Google+ tip) are now obsolete: Google+ for consumers shut down on April 2, 2019. This note fills the gaps and gives repeatable, low-risk ways to earn links that search engines reward.

Focus on creating “linkable assets” and a repeatable outreach workflow. High-value assets include original research/case studies, data visualizations, tools/calculators and long-form practical guides. Two concrete methods that get results:

  • Broken-link replacement: find niche resource pages with dead links, build or point to a superior replacement on your site, then send a short, polite email identifying the broken URL and offering your link.
  • Skyscraper outreach: find content that already attracts links, create a noticeably better version, then reach out to the sites linking to the original with a concise value proposition.

Prioritize prospects by editorial context and potential referral value, not just raw DR/DA. An on-topic article in the body of a page with real traffic beats a sidebar spam link on a high-DR site. Track outcomes by referral sessions and conversions so you know which link types pay off. Be careful with shortcuts: mentioned PBNs — those carry real penalty risk. Prefer scalable white-hat tactics (PR/HARO, contributor pieces on reputable sites, partnerships, and replacing broken resources).

Quick checklist to act: 1) Create one compelling asset this week, 2) find 20 niche resource/broken-link targets, 3) pitch 10 with short, personalized messages and one follow-up. This complements ’s point about authoritative links: target those sites with a tangible value exchange (data, quotes, tools) rather than generic directory submissions.

If your site is validly offering a service, check the local govt. town county state etc, for "local business" links. A link from an authorative site is invaluable

You have been getting nofollow links from most of the social media channels. Getting nofollow links are kind of useless. However, your website can get so much referral traffic from social media channels. We do blog promotion, forum posting, PR promotion to get backlinks and SEO value.

It is not bad to get backlinks to your website from social media sites, but it will be best to get backlinks from the website of your niche because the value of link got from your niche has been high comparing to the backlink got from the socialmedia websites.
