LinkedIn SEO – It’s real and it works

Optimize your LinkedIn Profile with the right keywords, in the right places and you can be found in LinkedIn and Google Searches. This is what I call deliberate SEO.

LinkedIn SEO – it’s the web magic that can get you found on LinkedIn.

Of course SEO, Search Engine Optimization, is not magic. It’s the deliberate use of the right words, in the right place, so that your web page get’s found by the people who are searching for these words. And, your LinkedIn Profile is a web page that needs to be optimized to be found.

If you optimize your LinkedIn Profile properly it can show up near, if not at, the top, in at least two different and important search results.

LinkedIn Search and Google Search, (OK, Bing, Yahoo & the other too).

The LinkedIn search engine is very powerful. LinkedIn may not tell us how the search algorithms work, but if you experiment with it a little bit you can figure out the eleven sections of LinkedIn that the search engine looks in. Try it.
