LinkedIn SEO boost?

[Blobe]

Should I create a LinkedIn page for my website? We teach english lessons by skype and I am not sure if it is worth it to create a company on LinkedIn and link to it from my site? Will that get me some good SEO points? Additionally I don't want to fork over 20$ to LinkedIn if I don't have to. Thank you dudes!

Yes create a Linkedin page AND join groups associated with your services or products, not only does it providing marketing exposure and point-of-contact with perspective clients but also established your authority within your industry.

Use the groups to promote you blog post and pages that answer questions within the groups, use your page and company page to create direct links to your listings. The groups have a social presence and I've seen post and updates made show up in fresh results within Google.

Additionally formatting of the text and links appears to have an effect on the page linked, site reference with italics and quote key terms to show the link is a reference for the body of text you've posted.

I created a company page for our business and it didn't cost anything. I'm not seeing anything about a cost on their company page overview at http://learn.linkedin.com/company-pages/, either.
