While it was great while it lasted, LinkedIn's public profile links no longer pass link juice. Sorry. That said, they still do pass traffic! Continue building up your LinkedIn profile and network, and you will drive traffic to the websites you link to on your profile. Best of luck! - Christy PS - This post is officially closed for comments ... starting ... now! Hi folks, thanks for all the comment love!

It depends. #2 will help your rankings. BUT -- and this is a JLo size one -- if Link #1 is from The New York Times' website and #2 is from my blog, you're gonna get a lot more traffic from Link #1. At the time of this writing, anyhoo ;) @James – To elaborate … It depends. #2 will help your rankings.

If you look at the code for your own profile while still logged into LinkedIn, however, you will see that there are redirects on all of your personal links.

It wouldn't hurt to do some testing, though, by setting up profiles with variations ... well, as long as LinkedIn doesn't kill your real profiles as a result! Let me know if you decide to test various combinations of keyword-rich and do-follow links on LinkedIn profiles. I would be very interested in the results.

Please let me know if you run across any that do! No-follow links on the most popular social media sites seem to boost the authority of the sites they are linked to a bit in the search engine's eyes, in my experience. And linking to highly authoritative sources that you cite in your blog posts, online newsletter articles, etc. may also give a slight boost to your site's credibility in the search engine's eyes. (Heck, even if it doesn't, at least it gives your readers more reasons to trust you. And if you are quoting material, it is plagiarism if you don't cite your source.)

What are your thoughts on making all three links have keywords as opposed to one keyword link and the other two being My blog and My website? Great post.

Any idea if any other social media sites include do follow links in their user's profile pages? Of course, this will likely result in an avalanche of spam accounts on LinkedIn... nothing new about that though. :) Nice!
