Creating a large number of back links from social networks creates a huge footprint which sticks out like a sore thumb and Google is now taking notice.

For anyone who has become over reliant on social networking sites as their sole source of back links to promote their site, Google will identify your condensed back linking foot print and devalue those back links. Which means only one thing; your search engine rankings will drop!

Setting up multiple profiles on the same social network all pointing to the same website.

Using software that automates the process of bookmarking your content across multiple profiles on multiple different networks.

Only bookmarking content that leads to web properties that you own.
