thanks
bekemew
for the profile list.
ive been able to rank sites recently just with profile links. (not boasting, just saying, other people/competitors have done it as well.)
BUT
they are very small searches (local searches)
also they dont always last forever, i.e. moz delete the profiles (probably through inactivity or obvious spam profiles with no posts etc)
& although some are beneficial for seo, & improve rankings (ive got to no 1 spot with just a few profile & guestbook links for some small local terms)
some also do not get indexed at all, i.e. forum profiles with low pr etc, & some forums close of member/profile pages.
just my 2 cents
what other "but yes add them to the mix." would you mix them in with ?
handmade web 2.0 & ?
Ive got GSA, but the profiles & links dont seem to make any difference, the handmade profiles i did did make a difference, has anyone had any success with GSA with this ?
i think its really down to the competitiveness of the search terms etc, small searches need a few links, big searches need a lot more,
