Getting Backlinks From Bio Profiles - Does it Really Work?

Yes, bio profiles with backlinks does certainly help, provided that the bio links (i) publicly viewable (to those not logged in), (ii) are indexable, and (ii) are do-follow (rather than no-follow) links.

The first one is easy enough to figure out by logging out, and the second and third are easy enough to figure if you use firefox addons like SEO Quake (I have it set so I see a line through links that are no-follow).

I know exactly what you are talking about below, as I have seen it with certain sites from Angela's packet as well.

My recommendation is just to move on to other sites. As Angela states in her packets, a few will likely cut down on their access or ability to post the links, so in a pack of 30 links assume that the number might end up being like 25-27 links.

It is very possible that the webmaster in question below changed their robots.txt file or are otherwise limiting or preventing the backlink in question. On the other hand, the webmaster might just be trying to prevent those of us from joining for the purpose of the backlinks (while not actually changing anything in their system).

In any event, just move on. There is no reason to battle webmasters who voiceup over this, as there are thousands of other sites.

thanks for this great info....i am looking for backlink service

I've been using Angela's backlinks since July, and I'm getting good results

You could always take it one step further and play the google game and look for other sites that allow profile submissions yourself and utilize those sites. I've found a bunch that aren't being offered through either service here and have added them to my list of backlinking sites. Don't always follow the herd.

Bio Profiles works better

Yes, it does work. I've used them and seen positive results in as early as 8 hours. Did them before I went to sleep, woke up and saw results! I had a particular new website that got indexed by google before I had managed to put an index.html page up. When I used the "site:mydomain.com" search in google, my site would come up, but only with a "Index of / ... apache webserver, blah blah" stuff. It wasn't showing my actual index, or any of the other pages I had put up. I had already gotten a few links from articles, pinged my pages and the articles, nothing.

Ran through a packet of Angela's links before I went to bed, woke up and the site was indexed properly, along with all the other pages I put up. So yes, they work.

I've seen my site move up in the serps as well, but the above is my most recent, concrete positive result.

Everybody wants to be on the front page.

When you reach a point of about 1,000 (or you pick a number close to this) real active competitors you quickly realize that ranking is now more than just linking.

With low competition linking will push you up. As competition increases you see that domain age, time on site, and other factors come into play.

Look at what Google is measuring and giving to you for free on Google Analytics. They don't collect that information for the hell of it. They use it.

Any link that is crawled and indexed from a respected site as the ability to count as a vote for your site.

I regularly trawl the net for similar football sites to leave comments on. When i'm doing it i have a firefox tool called NoDoFollow, which lets me know if post links are Follow or not.
Very useful, it can save you adding lots of comments when there is no purpose.
As i go to football blogs, i generally find a lot that have not been kept up, so this tool is invaluable to know if you are wasting your time or not.

Angela does this... follow her lead.

I've been using ONLY profile links on a few of my domains as a test, and they do indeed work (newer domains, keyword in domain, ranking increases in Google)
