If you don’t know already, LinkedIn is the networking site for professionals, covering the whole world. As a result, the more contemporaries you network with, the more your profile is seen.
And it’s your profile that is the key. As with a lot of networking sites and forums, you get access to your own profile once you have registered on the site. Dependent upon the policy of the site’s owner, you may be able to add a website URL to your signature or your profile page.
LinkedIn provides you with 3 slots to add your site URL, so you get 3 opportunities to link back to your own site pages.
What’s more, you have complete control over the anchor text used to link to your site AND the links are not formatted as ‘nofollow’ links, which means you get some link juice as well (albeit a miniscule amount).
Google pays close attention to the anchor text used to link to your site in determining the level of relevance to be attached to it.
So you see, it’s worth getting LinkedIn to get linked up.
