Should I Blog on Facebook?

By Jacqueline Sinex, Thursday, June 23, 2011
Facebook marketing and blogging

For best SEO practices, build your blog content directly on your own website first. Then use Facebook and other tools to promote the blog articles you write.  You can include a link to the unique post, with a short description and image if you like. This drives traffic to your website with links and social marketing while strengthening the content found on your actual website – where you want Google and other search engines to find you.

You can still manage other “blogs” on separate websites, which will help with your link-building strategy (good organic SEO).

    But doesn’t facebook and twitter have nofollow links, meaning no SEO juice gets passed to you. This effectively kills any SEO benefits you might otherwise receive. Sure you get traffic if your friends click on the link, but no SEO love.

    Hi, Jim,

    Yes links posted to Facebook are “nofollow”, so my emphasis was on human-generated traffic and the exposure of that link to other “fans” or their friends. As I insinuated in the last paragraph, you can also establish other blogs or article resources on secondary websites with solid “dofollow” links – I am not really suggesting using Facebook as a blog tool or a source of quality link building.
