Are Profile Backlinks Effective For SEO?

[Jake_Mon]

Hello,

I read an article about profile link building that made the following points:

1. Inner profile pages dont carry the same PR as the homepage as the website so it's a low quality link.

2. Since the profile page linking back to you has no backlinks of its own, it has no link popularity from google.

3. Google never indexes these inner profile pages.

Overall, the guy says that his experience tells him that profile link building is a waste of time.

So I wanted to hear what you think.

Share your results with profile link building.

I personally do not blast my money websites with thousands of profile links at once, but that's mostly just a personal preference. You won't be de-indexed just for doing this stuff.

Also, just to counter some of the points made in that article:

1. It is a low quality link, so what?
2. Why not blast those profile links with another set of profile links? Easy and effective.
3. Google only indexes a small % of these profiles, that is true - BUT there are ways to make sure that nearly all of them get indexed.

Profile Backlinks are also effective they can also increase your traffic and your website page rank as well. If you do profile backlinking be sure to use the high page rank sites..

Backlinks is really important in a website to help you increase its site ranking and to get backlinks then you can used the advantage of link building strategy.

So you mean guys that I do some small things in profile backlinks and the other links should be on the other ways of linking?
