60 + Places For Your Web Profile

I started this list very quietly in 2009 for some friends who were trying to build links back to their sites and profiles... It's been updated from the original list of 32 places you could link from to over 60.  I did not address Facebook in this list - because everyone has their own strategy for that. 

Although many of these sites are GREAT tools, and HUGE networking opportunities - This particular list is more for link building than anything else.

Here's how I suggest you use this list:

• First Set up a spreadsheet with the following columns  Site Name    Login    Password    Unique URL    Profile Picture?

• Unique URL (or vanity url) would look like this (for instance) http://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorthorne  It's important to have this list handy, because some places allow you to list where people can connect with you! (saves a ton of time)  Ditto regarding do you have a picture there... updating your Avatar is tons easier if you know where it is!
  

• Try to complete 2 profiles a day for the next 30 days, filling in the spreadsheet each time.

• Remember that when the profile asks for your web address, or blog address, you can put in ANY URL you want people to land on in that space!!  You can list your Activerain Profile Page if that's what you want people to see!

• The links below should take you directly to the place where you SIGN UP.

• If you have other links (especially LOCAL ones), suggestions, or find that a link does not work PLEASE leave a comment so I can continue to update this!
