Google says that they rate sites based on whether other sites cite them as in, are there meaningful natural links. I wondered how his applies to links on social media so I dug into Webmaster tools and found the following:
Youtube links - reported in Google's Webmaster tools. Not clear whether it's just in the original post or the comments too.
Facebook - Google apparently doesn't list them. It's been much reported that Facebook blocks the Google spiders.
Twitter - same as Facebook
Linkedin - I expected to find Linkedin reported but I did not. This is surprising to me and counter to what I've heard. Anybody have any reaction?
Pinterest - Goolge reports these.
BTw, what you do you think of they way that our social media icons are working on Science4Us? We have both the shares and the likes up.

Learning Today
I've had a site called Todays-learners for awhile. At times, I used it with Google Adwords and as a landing page. It has 9 years of history.
Nevertheless, it is somewhat neglected and has not done well in the last four years. Annoying!!!!
It does however have some of the best writing from a few years ago.
