So you mean profiles at social sites like Facebook and Twitter? If so it's doubtful the links on their own will do much to improve where your pages rank. Most of those profile links will probably have rel=nofollow applied to them, which theoretically means they shouldn't pass any value. In reality they probably do pass some value, but it would be minimal at best.

The best way to gain any marketing benefit from a social site is to genuinely participate in that community. If you do that you'll network with people who will possibly link to your site from their sites and possibly link to your site from those same social sites getting other people to visit and possibly link to you as well.

The profiles shouldn't harm your site though.

Profile link building is a worthwhile SEO technique lately in use. In profile link building, you create user profiles on various forums, blogs, social media, message boards, guest books and web 2.0 sites, etc. as most of these sites allow you to add your site URL and description, and so you can add your site URL along with a few anchor text links on these profiles. Thus, profile link building utilizes the authority of popular third party websites for the sake of building backlinks to the target pages.

Google love profile links and instantly count as a back link .

Profile link building has been into existence for some time now. In this method of link building, one creates user profiles on various forums, social media, web 2.0 sites, etc. Since lot of these sites allow you to add your site URL and a description field, you can actually add your site URL and couple of anchor text links on those profiles.

I don't think profile link gives you that much benefits as normal back-links gives. So you should work on building backlinks instead of profile links.

So what is the best way to add links:
Forum posts
Blog commenting
Article submissions
or profile links (not from facebook, the ones seo.vijay has mentioned in his reply)
what about link exchange?

I believe that profile links have definitely increased in value, as they're always shown when I monitor backlinks and usually allow for anchor text.

In order to have a better idea about whether or not such links, which I guess might come in huge quantities, are counted by Google or not, take a look at your Webmaster Panel to see whether or not they are there. Sometimes using these variations might help gathering links in a natural way but you should expect better kinds of links when you are paying someone to build them for your site.

Profiles links might seem a bit too weak when it comes to achieving top ranks in very competitive niches.

One of my former colleagues also practicing that. I wonder if it is not considered as gray hat or black hat???

Link should be a link it is profile link or any types of link it most be useful for your website ranking but only when link must be dofollow link.

If you create link for any types of off page process but if it is nofollow then not use fully for Google ranking.

That does not mean anything at all.

IN FACT it probably means they are "worth" nothing at all, because it has always been the case of the "lowest quality links" are the ones that search engines show for the link: search

I don't think they're very useful for SEO but since they're profile links they could be good for visits from real human visitors. Depends TBH.
