Hi

Better to have a natural-looking link profile, than to put all your eggs in one basket.

The effort of one type of strategy can backfire with Google. If the SEs change their algorithms and start looking at relevancy of links you'd better be sure that your forum links are all relevant to your keyword. If you diversify, you have a better shot at staying on top.

Forum backlinks still work and I still use them but to me they are the most likely of all backlinking talked about on this forum to be discounted in the future.

A) Future upgrades by the software developer can release updates to their software that can make all signature and profile links nofollow as the default.

B) Forum signatures and profile links are extremely easy to spot by distinct footprints. If google makes the decision to discount themn it would take less than a day for their programmers to develop an easy means of achieving it.

Always diversify and look for backlink sites where you can leave backlinks in content that your are allowed to supply.

The two primary reasons you don't want to make it your primary strategy is below.

1. Many of those prodile links get removed, some within days after you put them there. Many will stick but others get routinely whacked by forum admins.
2. Google knows people are doing this bigtime so may devalue them or not count them in the future.

Combine backlink building with article marketing and you will have a good base.

I use sean donahue's backlink booster and a majority of my profiles get indexed by google within a couple days. As for boring and time consuming, no one should be doing these by hand. At a very minimum, one should be using SEO link dominator or roboform. I have started to have outsourcers do a majority of them for me as they can do them much cheaper than my time is worth.

Page Rank is not Site Rank. People lose track of this.

If you want to know if they "work" find another persons profile on the site you want to link from. Search for the URL in Google and see if it is indexed and ranked. If it is... then it works.

And as a rule of thumb use a profile that is at least 3 months old.

Generally speaking you want to make sure to create the profile and fill in all the info including a picture. Come back at some later date (different people have different suggestions) to fill in your links once you are out of the new members list.

It's an easy link building task, but can be tedious to say the least. Angela and Paul have nice monthly packets, while Terry has a GREAT one, if there is space available.

Yes, they work but no one should have only 1 backlinking methodology. Mix it up. It not only looks more natural but you're less likely to have a batch of BLs wiped out at once. I get links from blog commenting, forum profiles, article marketing, social networking sites, forum posting, social bookmarking, RSS feeds and more.

They work and work wonders. I always finish off SEO campaigns with a solid 300 profile backlinks targeting the homepage.

It's always good to try and only create profiles on websites in which your public profile is located 2-3 folders down. (domain.com/folder1/folder2/profile)

Most of our campaigns are based maybe 75% profile backlinks and the rest some articles, press releases, blog commenting and hand-picked directories.

They work, and can definitely vouch for them.

Great question.

Profiles are a great and underused strategy. Everybody and their mother knows all about article marketing. You're competitors are doing it while you're doing it. Forum profiles can often be the "spark" if you will. They've done wonders for me thus far, often providing more firepower to your rankings and PR than just generating more article links, blog comments, etc.

I agree that profile links are great but "underused"??? Seriously??? They are one of the most used and abused linking methods today.

They work, but you need to make sure they get indexed so that Google sees your backlinks in the first place.

To save time you can use an index checker such as this one and then use this profile link checker to also make sure that the links are still dofollow.

I have used forum profiles as part of my backlink strategy but it's not good long term. The profiles will get removed after non-activity. I have lost many links because the profile was deleted by admin.

Profile backlinks have a great SEO impact. If you create your profiles with wisdom (i.e fill in all the fields, upload an avatar, put your links one week later than the creation date) then you can be sure that your links will stick and remain for a very long time. Note, that not all the profile links will work. They must belong to extremely high quality and high PR websites, they must be public and above all they must be dofollow.

Yahoo likes sheer volume. Google and Bing are more three dimentional and like variety in the links.

P.S. I posted the following in the profile building thread, but it might be applicable to this thread too:

Regarding the "I have put up 100 profile links, why are only 3 of them showing up in the backlink searches" question, I have a theory, and it's all to do with internal backlinking.

With most forums, the point is to post in the forum. And everytime you post, there is a link from the forum post back to your profile, via the name in the left hand sidebar.

Remember that forum threads get indexed as well as the forum profiles. So the more you post in the forum, the more internal backlinks are created to your profile, and the stronger the profile becomes. If you just set up a profile and don't post, then there is nothing supporting the profile, and it's unlikely to count for much.

So once you have set up your profiles, then pick a few of the forums and start posting to ensure the profile strengthens.

Yes it's time consuming, but it's your classic time spent v benefit gained scenario. If you spend 5 hours building 100 profiles and only 3 are recognised, you arn't doing as well as someone who spent 5 hours and built 10 profiles by hand (including posting in the forum) and got them all indexed

Thanks

i have notice many webmaster claim that this link process works for getting instant link for your website, but i think this is not a natural linking strategy. Their are many few forums whose profile page get index on google and as we all knew without indexing on google their page where you generated the link will not going help for your website.

After generating the link you also have to optimize them for search engine. Normally i avoid this type of linking process.

Try from your end may be it will help you to get some direct visitor.

yes, profile link building works but only if you get them index. Your forum profile links does not have an page rank. Google will take a while to notice these links sometimes it never notices. one good way to make sure you links gets index is to backlink your profile links into a high pr page. i guarrantee you they wil get index in under 24 hour. but if you are building alot of profile links. make sure you are notusing only 1 keyword this can certainly gets you ban

Profile links work great but as many of you have mentioned it can be quite boring. You could of course just outsource *cough*checkmysig*cough* it all. Also, I've found that it is really a waste of time to ping your links. You can do other things to help search engines index your links but if you are stilling pinging your backlinks and rss feeds then you really don't know anything about Google Caffeine.

Oh, and I really believe that you should put more effort into building more backlinks than into trying to get your backlinks indexed. I've done extensive research and testing on this and your time would definitely be better spent getting more backlinks.

Well, how could I understand and where could I get the resource that Google does not index those profile links?

Last month, I was at the Google Dance by just giving my site few hundrends of pyramid profile links. The site danced about 2 weeks and then I get some high PR backlinks from such google profile, frickr, etc. Now get back to google...

High PR forum profile does work but what work more is link diversity. If you want to get rank better than just try to get back links from different sources like SN, Article D., PR sites etc. Make forum profiles an addition to them not the priority method.

For me they stopped working after Panda. Existing links did not lose value but ever since panda when I try to use forum profile links alone to really judge how useful they are, no movement at all. I already find them spammy enough so I just stopped them now that they do not even have any SEO value.

Here's a little secret most people avoid... Low PR forum links work just as well as high PR forum links.

Want to know why? Because either way your link is on a PR 0 or n/a page.

The forums do not link directly to your profile page, so no link juice gets passed to your profile if all you do is create a profile and drop a link.

The only advantage a high PR forum would hold over a low PR forum is that it gets spidered more often and your link may get found faster.

they work but don't expect them to show up on google webmasters or in yahoo site explorer. Profile links will rarely get indexed but the crawl is still worth something to your site.

I've ranked sites on just profile links before but I wouldn't recommend it, go for a mix of links and always look for quality if you can.

  I found that 'relevant' links from industry forms seem to work quite well.
  
  Doing some post-penguin/panda testing this week. Should still work as it'd be pretty hard for the big G to discredit relevant/intitle links.
  
  Just don't want to go overboard on any one type of link building activity.
  
  What I'm seeing so far, through some data scraping and analysis, is that the mantra of link diversity and anchor text diversity is key.

Just because a forum is PR4, PR5, PR6, etc, doesn't mean your backlink will be. A forum profile backlink is going to be a PR N/A backlink lost in the mix of potentially thousands of other profile backlinks on the forum.

Speaking of rubbish, you didn't have 300,000,000 competing pages. Just because Google gives a certain number of results from their index, does not mean any of those sites are actively "competing" for your keyword.

It is good to have forum profile links in your backclick profile, but just as a part, and not the main backlinking strategy.
First of all even if you have a profile on high PR forum, you actually have link on your profile page with PR0.
Some forums will delete profile without any posts.

Yes, but just a profile link alone usually isn't enough. In order to get the full effect, you need to post frequently.

Also, you need to make sure that your target website has a balanced incoming link portfolio - it can't just be made of up forum links. You have to have other types of links in there too.

Profile backlinks have a great SEO impact. If you create your profiles with wisdom (i.e fill in all the fields, upload an avatar, put your links one week later than the creation date) then you can be sure that your links will stick and remain for a very long time. Note, that not all the profile links will work. They must belong to extremely high quality and high PR websites, they must be public and above all they must be dofollow.

Profile backlinks works, dont as much power as use to have, but remember:
- 2.0 profiles are better than normal forums
- Mix of anchortext, and do/nofollow
- Make your profiles look natural, submit as much content as you can, it will have more value for google, and probably admin wont delete it, search for angela profiles on fiverr, look for blboss, he does a greate job.
