When with Google+ bio area backlinks get devalued if we have everybody link to our site

[BobGW]

Hello,

As you know, Google+ bios, if they have a link in them are dofollow. I'm doing a link building campaign, and we already linked one of our Google+ pages to our home page and top 2 articles.

My question is, to get links, can we have family and friends add links in their bios too for a total of 6 links to the home page (6 people) and some links to our articles?

Or will Google devalue them because we are family and friends? How many is too many?

Thanks.

Google is pretty clever, it also going to no doubt pick up if they are friends and family compared to employes etc. I would be careful with it and weigh the risk to reward, I can't say they would devalue them as its hardly on a huge scale However would it be relevant as that's what Google always like to know.

You can always work on making you profile (presuming you have a link) more authoritative by getting more people in your "circles".

Good luck.
