You should explain why it's nonsense instead of just making a straight statement without any explanation, but I appreciate it.

I guess you see profile backlinks as just foundation backlinks, but here is where the main SEO part comes in.

Let's say a profile backlink offers you sections like:

1. Location
2. About me section
3. Bio
4. Website link (no follow, do-fllow)

Can you SEO optimize your profile? The answer is obviously yes. You can repeat your main keyword in certain sections just like an article, it's not a math equation mate. I am not going to write a whole essay on this, because the concept is actually very simple to understand.

By the way, I am not telling you guys to depend on automated tools for doing keyword research rather manually check out the competition. A keyword with 20-30 difficulty MAY have search results of just 70, in other terms it's the easiest keyword to rank for depending on several factors of-course.

So, if you put your main keyword few times in the profile section you are going to rank just with profile links?

Have you tested this?

Yes, it depends on the competition of the keyword though. I have tested this out, and that's the only reason I made that statement. You can possibly blast GSA or tier 2 backlinks to get it indexed faster, but I personally let it naturally index through social media to see maximum benefits.

Competition is everything.

What metric you thought of when you said 20-30 difficulty? Ahrefs keyword difficulty? That would be too hard to rank with just profile links.

OP sorry for hijacking your thread.

No, it was Moz keyword difficulty. I checked the keyword and the difficulty showed as "23" I believe, however when I manually checked the keyword competition manually, it seemed pretty low as only web2.0's, a website and YouTube videos were ranking in that keyword.

I tried it out with another keyword, now the profile link is in position 12 so my only option here is to blast GSA links at my profile to bring down the position or rather some quality tier 2 link would do the trick.

I'd rather call this a parasite as the main aim here is to rank it and not pass juice.

Medium is a big driver when it comes to building an audience. If you are able to write good content for the community then it's highly recommended, this platform gives you the option to add your call to action on the back end of every article you write and publish.

Yes, launch a captivating blog, write at least 20 articles and republish them on medium to get more traffic.

this is actually a great idea
