If you create a yahoo profile and create 4 links in it ... home page cool link1 cool link2 cool link3 You get 4 back links. They seem to be genuine follow links. You can check it using profiles.yahoo.com/xxxx Just wanted to confirm if this will give you a genuine backlink. Post your comments...
is that a page you have to log in to see? any chance any search engine but yahoo! is going to pick those up? nice tip though.
Nice tip, thanks These things can get good page rank profiles.yahoo.com/webbug2000 has PR5 But then again, if these pages don't count in Google, I guess PR doesn't matter.
I think Google does index them. Lots are listed here: http://www.google.com/search?source...rlz=1T4ADBR_enGB260&q=site:profiles.yahoo.com I think the secret is to find lots of these profile type pages. And to then link to them from external pages, to let the search engines know that they exist. For example, this link to my profile should help the search engines find my profile and start indexing it.
i have about 7-8 profiles and most of them are indexed. the only thing is they dont have any PR. However backlinks are never wasted and especially from a site like yahoo it never will be
Thanks everyone for compliments. I had couple of yahoo profiles and I have added links to them ... I do think that google indexes and takes them as genuine links since they appear in my webmaster tools. In anyway they do not hurt ....
Excellent idea... I'll have to copy cat you and do the same. ;-) Thanks to the OP on this idea! Well, as soon as I can post links I'll do so.
