Does Backlinks from User Profile Page Still Matter

[Modi]

Though, lot of algorithmic changes, updates have happened. However, backlinks from quality source or trusted sites has hardly lost its importance and thats why Open SIte Explorer or Majestic seo is still there to find quality of backlinks, trust factor and authority factor of the backlinks.

I need to know does having backlink (dofollow) from Profile Page - still matters and if yes - will a do follow backlink from Moz Profile Page or any authority site or forum page, having dofollow link from user profile page - does it still count as a mark to authority of your site.

I think it definitely does.  I have a website that only has a link from my Google Plus page and that page has a domain authority of 20 (It's only about two months old).  Moz's dofollow link to my homepage of my website gave me a boost in rankings.

Most profiles pages don't have dofollow links in general, so when you do get one it can be powerful.  If everyone on the site gets a dofollow link from their profile I would probably think it would diminish the value of it.  Since most of them that do offer dofollow have some sort of threshold (like Moz does) I tend to believe that it bears more weight.

Just know it isn't just a simply yes or no question.  If the site that is giving the link is a poor site, then it an actually hurt you, just like any other link.
