Hi,
I am confused with profile backlinks and want to get expert suggestions. I am creating backlinks for many clients but I want to confirm that profile backlinks still work.

    • Waste of time. At best they are ignored by Google. At worst you get your client penalized for an unnatural link profile.



      What a load of ChatGPT generated nonsense. Stop making a fool of yourself.

  • Profile links are absolute garbage links. If I had a company creating them for me, I would fire them immediately. More scary is the fact that someone would hire someone (an "expert", they think) who doesn't know that.

    The concept is simple and I repeat it all the time here ... if you can create a link, yourself, on someone else's website, the link will not do an iota of good for SEO. In some very select cases, you may get traffic, but self-created links will NEVER help you rank better!

    A link is beneficial for SEO if someone at another site makes a conscious decision to link to you. PERIOD!

  • Simple answer is yes. There are many high quality and authority websites that you can create do-follow profile links. For me it has always helped to increase number of one way links and contributed to SEO.

    • So, how do you explain the opinions above that its bad?
      Why do Google advise in their "guidelines" not to do it and if you do it, then you could be penalized?

  • Best suggestion - go to backlinko and educate yourself. You posted previously that you had just taken an SEO course - but doesn't sound like it taught much.


    In ths short time since you STARTED this thread - moderators have deleted EIGHT posts by spammers who think trying slip in a link is 'getting a backlink'.



    Nope, doesn't work like that. However, it shows you how many marketers have no clue what they are doing. You don't have to be an expert - just learn enough not to be a spammer.

  • tedroger, You may want to switch to the classic view. Below is the view people see, but will not know who you replied to. Go to the Black Tool Bar and hover over your user name. The drop box will open, then click on classic view. When you want to reply to some specific use the quote button.

  • Backlinks still works, yes, you can create profile Links, make sure that they Looks Genuine, so create on your name instead of your business, means in the username, not to take your business domain name.
  • Profile backlinks may still have some value in 2023, but their effectiveness has decreased significantly over the years. It is more beneficial to focus on high-quality, organic backlinks from authoritative websites that provide real value to users.

  • Profile backlinks can still be useful for SEO if placed on high quality websites and are natural and don't look spammy.

    • True. But just because you could does not mean you should. Creating them for SEO is a waste of time.
