Hi, I was considering to perform SEO on my website when i came across a site which does Profile Backlinks, instead of backlinks How are these different from the normal backlinks that we have and which one is better ?
Simple difference, profile backlinks come from signing up at a forum, adding your URL as your site, and leaving it. That is one profile backlink. Backlinks in general, could be from any site. Forum/Profile backlinks would rank very low on the quality factor, in fact google last update partially targeted out just these type of links.
profile backlink is usually your signature link, for example the web address you are to put here on DP. And regular backlink is all those others you know. Can anyone help, what is those Angela and Paula thing? I am sure to have heard about them! But not sure. Only want to know the summed idea.
A Profile Backlink IS a regular backlink. A backlink is just anything which links back to your website. Google will not naturally crawl a forum profile backlink though, so you have to work hard to get it indexed. It is a good idea to have a big mixture of ALL kinds of backlinks.
Ok, i have mixed opinion here, you make the work easier for Google, just submit your profile url to them. The purpose of profile link is to get traffic mostly, than SEO. I hope it is clear now.
In my own explanation, profile backlinks is also a backlink but not uses a keyword as anchor text. While backlinks is a backlink that uses a keyword as anchor text to help to push the ranking of that keyword.
Would you mind to share were you got this from? Yes, they get indexed late / hardly if not pinged. Yes, they are devalued if a lot of links go out from one forum (=one IP). Yes, they are devalued if the profile page has not a lot of real content on it. But generally targeted out?
Profile backlinks tend to be lower quality than others, which is why most people do them in bulk. (XRumer blasts.) I wouldn't spend time manually creating a handful of profile backlinks myself. But with software, creating a few thousand may be beneficial. Just be sure to mix in other strategies and don't rely solely on profiles. (This can be said for any backlinking strategy.)
Backlinks have nothing to do with using a keyword as anchor text. Profile links are considered as backlinks.
Profile backlinks are the links from the signature but banklinks are from other sites. Profile Backlinks wont help in increase the PR but backlins from quality and high PR site increases the Page Rank
Profile pages are GREAT for increasing ranks for geographic keyword phrases. If you’re targeting a specific town or county then add them to the ‘Location’ field. For example if you’re a plumber in Manchester, then add the word ‘Manchester’ to the location field. These are ALL visible within your public profile.
