So, when you get organic (natural without manual intervention) links from several authority websites, it is considered good by Google. So, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalpedant.com\/about\/\">SEO experts<\/a> try to implement strategies that help in acquiring backlinks from different sources.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_valuable_is_Profile_Linking_for_generating_backlinks_for_SEO\"><\/span>How valuable is Profile Linking for generating backlinks for SEO?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Well, the truth is that if you are a valued member of a forum or website and contribute regularly that increases the value of the online community then placing your website link in your profile is beneficial. As people might find that link useful and so does Google.<\/p>\n<p>Although, if you are creating hundreds of profiles and just inserting links in them for the sake of backlink creation without contributing anything useful then it is considered blackhat and spammy by Google. Doing this is an utter waste of time and you will not benefit from this strategy in the long term.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It&#8217;s like Give &amp; Take. Contribute to the platform and you will get benefits in return.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Forum_Profile_Signaturelinks_count_as_backlinks\"><\/span>Does Forum Profile Signature\/links count as backlinks?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Forum and profile signature links do count if they are dofollow and if you contribute useful stuff to that forum otherwise those are just useless links that are not considered by Google when ranking your website.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Profile_Links_still_effective\"><\/span>Are Profile Links still effective?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As I said earlier that profile links are only effective if you maintain quality and avoid spam. A tactfully placed profile link at an online platform where you are a valued member will be considered a good backlink in the eyes of Google.<\/p>\n<p>So, to conclude Profile Linking in SEO means to create backlinks by placing your website URL&#8217;s on profiles created on different online platforms like Quora, Slideshare, Reddit, Twitter, Forums, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19236,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What Is Profile Linking In SEO?
