I disagree. If you find social networking profiles outranking you then you are doing something seriously wrong with your main site's SEO/marketing.

Often Social Profile entries may have higher PR and will OUTRANK your site(s) - giving rather *indirect, obtuse, and oblique* sorts of backlinks. <i>Unless your Name and your domain are *branding you one in the same* - that may or may not help in ways you intend.</i> You also can't control the _snippet_ shown in the description: Take a look at a sample #1 SERP result you might get from FURL: The <b>YOUR-NAME</b> Archive <b>YOUR-NAME's</b> Public Archive RSS Feed · Title Summary Tabular. Filtered By. All Days. All Days · Last Week · Last Month · Last Three Months · Last Six Months ... www.furl.net/member/<b>YOUR-NAME</b> Not exactly ideal. Yes the above sites are easy backlink builders that get picked up suprisingly quick these days. But they often can put a few extra clicks between You, the information you're trying to convey, and the actual LINK to take them there.
