Are Profile Links still helpful for SEO?

Hi Gurus,
Was searching for the answer but could not find.... Are Profile Links still helpful for SEO? In 2016?
I mean profile links from authority sites like... w0rdpress, myspac3, d3ll etc.

 

No man...unless you are showing any participation on those sites...

Stay away from such links!

 

I think they are good for diversification

 

Don't need to stay away but it won't provide much value. Not great and not bad

 

Good for diversifying though

 

They still work (with minimum results) in upper tiers (2,3 etc.)

 

Diversity itself with profile links won't matter but diversity in terms of web 2.0's homepage links etc. that is good

 

They look pretty much devalued and in most cases would trigger filters.

 

You can use them for diversification and if the link is do follow pump it up with some tier 2 links. Don't expect a huge SERP rise though.

 

They are good for diversity, however I only use nofollow links when dealing with profiles.

 

only use profile link for naked url.

 

Some sites use No Follow for comment sections. If you can put your link in your name that may help for diversity but I would not rely on it to bring business or seo links.

 

It doesn't hurt to have them.

 

Not great, use them on satellite sites that link to your money site

 

They're a waste of time... You could get a tiny benefit, but why bother? You'd be better off doing something more productive like writing 3000 word articles.

 

Not to highjack OP's post but I was wondering..

Why do you only use nofollow links when dealing with profiles?

 

Use for diversity and try getting such links from related sites where possible.

 

I use tier 2 links to index my profiles. I don''t want the juice passing on from my spam.

just safer then doing d~follow

 

Yes i think still works if you use for naked url....

 

yes it is helpful for get natural link building strategy.
