Hi All,

Does profile links work related to offpage SEO?

My website was linked to many profiles on sites and wanted to know if i need to cleanup or leave it as they are so they benefit?

Thanks

Profile links aren't generally great links.  It is however quite natural to have some of them.

Like many things in SEO it is a good idea to try to look objectively at them and ask yourself why they exist.  If the links exist because there is genuine involvement in a number of sites (includin niche relevant ones) and those sites are of an acceptable quality then there is no real reason to disavow them.  If they existing because someone thought they would be a good way of getting links or they're in unnatural proportions or the sites are very poor quality then you might want to do somthing about them.  If you have the logins removal might even be better than disavow.
