Why I think DOFOLLOW profile links from high PR sites are bunk...

    Let me know if I am wrong....

    People are saying that links from profile pages of high PR sites are valuable, but......

    These profile pages are not linked to from the high profile pages so they are not recieving any "juice" therefor they are just your basic PR0 link from any other site.....

    I believe that it would be better just to post a couple of articles on blogspot.com and build backlinks to those pages...


    Your thoughts....

    They probably will not impact your rankings very much, but they don't hurt...

    Although the profile pages tend to have low pagerank the social media sites tend to have a lot of authority, so I'm sure they pass some value.

    I am wondering about the same thing as well.

    A backlink from a high PR domain, like 7 or 8 gives value to the PR 0 profile link?

    I believe that it will still pass link juices to your site

    I am curious as to how you think that is possible?

    If you make one of these profile pages and check the backlinks in a month you will see 0 backlinks.... Where does the juice come from?

    People are making a quick buck by selling people these packages that provide no gain.

    Like for instance, Angela's link building packages are mainly links only from domains with high authority homepage domain, but the backlink is only a PR 0 profile backlink.

    Is it really worth trying to get these PR 0 profile backlinks from high PR homepage domains?

    Well, profile pages are not really worth it as you only acquire PR if you develop a profile for large periods of time or else most of them exist as PR0 or PR n/a. Some networks like Propeller can give you PR6 profile pages real quick but most of them go un-indexed by the next update. Keeping this in view, profile pages are not worth the pain from a SEO point of view.

    It`s been a month now since I got those links and I don`t see any links in yahoo or google. I would not suggest those links for newbies.

    Those links are useless, otherwise someone can write a program that create thousands of profiles on Google and have them point to their site. Google profile is do follow, by the way, and what's a domain more trusted by Google than Google?
