Do you need a Linked In Profile
Written by: +Richard | August 2nd, 2010SEO is all about getting your name out there on the web, making sure that your information can be found easily by using one of the search engines. There are other routes to having your information found, via social networking sites or by commenting on blog sites – by participating in the internet rather than just browsing it.
Most SEO is focused on promoting company products and services but there is a resource that will allow you to add to your SEO campaign using a resource that is focussed around the individual.
LinkedIn.com provide a service whereby you can upload profile information about yourself, in effect an online CV, business card and reference. Because the service is much more professionally focused than Facebook or MySpace it is well respected as a resource by Google and other Search Engines when it comes to quality personal data. This is reflected in how high the LinkedIn Profile for a given person places in a Google search on their name.
Given that LinkedIn has been granted such a high authority it makes perfect sense to use it as part of your SEO strategy. For personal websites this will be a very effective way to gain a free backlink to each of your sites and identities. For Company websites if each of your management staff create a thorough profile that is accurate and complete, and link back to the company’s website that will effectively create a bunch of links back to your website from a very authoritative website.
As a bonus your employees will also be in a position to use their profiles to network and pull in new business directly as well as helping keep your website high in the Search Results.
