    Shere as long as I think you are trying to adding making some account at Google or like Google plus and adding link in profile.First you can create max 5 accounts per number these days.If you increase speed the numbers decrease to 2.
    Secondly with Google authorship out can easily dictate what is the worth of your profile.You create 200 profile links its unnatural and so is bad.Mix it with another techniques and make it look natural rather than just doing it all alone.

    Profile links are ok, but you need to do something with those profiles. Dont just create them and put a link in them that will not work.

    All the best

    Profile links are crap. Half of them don't even get indexed and you would be better off doing absolutely nothing SEO wise, seriously. Quality of backlinks not quantity, its a new day, thats actually not that new anymore, so why people are saying:

    This is utter nonsense.

    So what your saying is as long as you get backlinks to your site, all is good? You will have to excuse me, im about to blast all my money sites with my 50,000 auto approve scrapebox list!

    Natural way is advisable. Doing it intentionally, just for backlinks is not advisable. I agree with few fellow members to mix the strategy with other natural way of getting the back links.

    If you want to do profile linking then do it naturally, like don't create so many accounts. For the accounts you have created don't left them by just making account and after adding your link. Do some things on your accounts that are permitted, so that it looks natural..

    Some are, some aren't. For example, my LinkedIn profile shows up in Google search and has a PageRank 2.

    Yeh, but your LinkedIn profile hasn't been created for the sole purpose of gaining backlinks back to a site, to get it ranked, which is what he meant.

    From authority websites do have some value, others how ever not or not much. I would not advice to spam profiles with backlinks to your moneysite.

    Yes, profile link is still working. But you need to maintain quality than quantity. Also you may get some visitors from profile link.

    Ya, Profile link is good for getting a back link, but if you want to attract real traffic to your website through forum discussion, then you have to do something different. Continue your discussion in a natural way and try to solve the problem of others, then you will surely get the targeted visitors and customers for your business.

    I think genuine profile linking in still Good but if your are pointing your website just because you want another backlink for your website then beware...Google is gonna kick you soon.
