Linkerbation

Seems that the power of Matt goes pretty far. I had intended to write about adding solid backlinks in your Twitter profile, but Matt Cutts decided that he didn’t care for those links.. And, of course, the Twitter guys listened and killed them..

Which started the lovely Sugarrae of on another mini rant (I do so love to read her rants)..

@mattcutts *I* gave this twitter page content, *I* got this twitter page 1700 backlinks, why should *I* not benefit from it?

And I have to agree with her.. We build the content, we put up the links, we attract the followers that make the site popular, we should at the very least be allowed to get a decent link back to our main websites.. But Google would rather see the natural web destroyed with their use of the noFollow tag on everything..

See what happens when you point things out to Google everyone?? That’s what makes writing this blog such a challenge.. How much to share and how much to hold back while it is still useful??
