Link Building - Profile Link Building

What is Profile Link Building:

Profile link building is a very old but under-utilized method for building link. Here we utilize the authority of other sites to build links to target pages. A lot of sites allow you to create an account on their sites. On your profile pages, they allow you to add a link back to your homepage. This can be used to rank well. Some of the things to keep in mind are:

• The profile page must be open to search engines and non-registered users.
• The homepage must have good PR. This is not very relevant but an added bonus.
• The links must be DoFollow.
• The site must allow for anchor texts.
