Are profile links beneficial for SEO? For instance when you go create a user in a forum, then click on user CP and enter your homepage url. I've seen offers for 5000 of these links for $100 or less, is it worth it? Does it help? They claim it's "dofollow" too.
i use this for keyword spreading, its a great way to use alot of different keywords for a small amount of money.
Yes, but they help as much as you help the profile...which means don't expect a PR 0 profile with 0-5 posts to help much compared to a profile that is more interlinked to with hundreds, or even thousands of posts.
