Google loves LinkedIn! Maybe you've noticed that LinkedIn profiles show up high in Google results when you type in someone's name? Why LinkedIn and not any other social / professional networking site?

Because LinkedIn offers us high-quality linking possibilities, which can make Google believe that your profile page is highly relevant. To make full use of this potential, make sure to:

• Invite your network to link with you using LinkedIn. You can easily upload a contact list to the LinkedIn site or sync contacts with your Google account for instance.
• Write recommendations for others regularely. Make sure that you use relevant words for your own profile. These words will appear on the profile of the person you're writing a recommendation for! And it will backlink to your profile. Sweet.
• Place links to your website(s) on your profile page! When your LinkedIn page receives a high Google PageRank score, it will affect the score of your website(s) in a positive way!
