Linkedin SEO

is linkedin a good platfrom when it comes to SEO? many friends have suggested it to me

Yep, Linkedin's organic reach is at the peak and you can use it to your benefit if you use it well.

Depends on your niche. For anything business related (IM and SEO are just about perfection really) then you should setup LinkedIn pronto!

The only real issue with LinkedIn now is noise. There is so much motivational crud on there at the moment that many people screen it out - I would stay away from that personally.

Yes it is a good plateform for getting organic traffic.Try to find your post related groups in linkdin then joined them write your post & get organic traffic.
