How PageRank flows from Twitter and Facebook in Google's rankings

Here’s the first video from Matt’s new webmaster series. It’s about PageRank, Twitter and Facebook. Interesting but…hardly new.

Here’s a brief summary if the video:

  1. Links from reputable websites are always best.
  2. Re Facebook: only links that can be fetched MAY pass pagerank
  3. Links from Twitter are NoFollow so no worry there…it will not help with PR
  4. All links are treated equally, whether they are coming from a wordpress blog or an .edu domain (I have my reservations here as there is evidence of the contrary).

I always enjoy watching Matt’s videos, I hope you will too 🙂
