Is it worth it to spend time building profile links since you have to index them?

Hi I was building a lot of profile links yesterday, but after I finished I wondered if it was even worth it since I would have to go back later and spend time indexing each one. What do you guys think?

    It is definitely worth it just do them manually so you do not raise any red flags with Google.

    Natural linkbuilding is the best!

      To me, it isn't, really, because they're all PR-0, non-context-relevant backlinks anyway, and of very, very limited value; I also think they're pretty spammy.

      How would Google know whether they've been done in an automated way? And if Google did, and really did penalised your site for that, wouldn't countless people be doing it (in their non-manual way) as a very quick and easy way to disable their competitors' sites? Does this actually stand up to examination at all, or is it another urban myth of internet marketing?

        yes I was thinking something similar, but from my research it seems that alot of the automation software (that allows you to get thousands of links) promotes profiles. I know that article links can be better but it seems to take more time to get a whole lot of them...at least i think

        Good point but I like to play on the up and up if possible. Better safe than sorry.

        You do not want to end up in the Google sandbox....

        How do you know Google does not know? We can only make educated guesses.

        If your getting thousands of links pointing at your new site daily don't you think there is a chance Google may penalize your site?

        If you spread them out over time to make it look more natural than you know there will be no problem.

        Like I said better safe than sorry in my opinion. If you use software just make sure not to overdue it. There is a healthy medium to everything.

        But good points Alexa

    If you are going to take the time to do something manually, I think you are a lot better off seeking out a blog that has a high PR page you can comment on, or writing articles for guest posting or doing some other thing that will get you a better quality link.

    It's not that I am against profile links, but like Alexa, I think they are pretty low quality and should be automated or outsourced and your time spent on acquiring better quality links.

    What do you mean indexing each one? Do you go back and backlink your backlinks? I think at that point what you're doing is a bit tedious. You're doing a lot of work for low quality juice.

    Personally, I wouldn't bother backlinking the profiles. Google will find them (via the forum's member list), in case you didn't know, so it's not necessary.

    I don't know about the tools but there are services like Make Back Links: Package Options that will do it for cheap

    There might be a WSO for this one, but I'm not sure. If there is, you will probably save a few bucks.

    I think forum profiles still work.

    I've analysed a lot of websites backlinks and forum profiles always come up, so clearly they are still part of the backlinking strategy in many compeitive markets and niches.
