These links, which are often contained within copy, are typically more highly valued than stand-alone links outside of body copy. For this reason, Search Mojo monitors social media platforms, such as Twitter, for articles and mentions about the client and contact the authors when appropriate to request an inbound link within those articles or mentions. - Monitoring Retweets to Assess Inbound Links from Social Media Platforms
