If you have a website, you need to know why search engine optimization is absolutely vital to your success. Imagine if you owned a bakery, but it was on a tiny back street with no sign in the front. It would be extremely difficult for customers to find you.
Keywords are the Internet version of signs. You need to make decisions as to the best words to describe your business and what you offer. Then you have to apply these keywords throughout the various pages contained in your website. If you were a baker, you would use keywords such as bread, flour, loaves, sandwiches, etc.
Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is simply optimizing your website with the proper “sign” so that it ranks as high as possible when someone searches for what you have to offer.
The same principle applies to any online business. Without keywords, you won’t get visitors coming to your site and therefore you won’t make any money. The search engines use a program called a spider to trawl through every page on every site on the web. This is how search engines determine which sites are listed in what order when someone searches for something. This creates “search engine rankings.” The more popular the site, the higher the rankings and the more chance you have of your site being seen by people searching for what you need.
When you write your website content, it’s vital that it reads well and flows naturally, because the spiders pick up tactics such as using the same keywords too many times, content not flowing naturally, dead links within your site, etc. And they also use your site map to check every single page of your site for accuracy. Problems on your site can have a negative effect on your rankings, so the better the flow, the more chance your site has of ranking higher.
Bear in mind that the highest ranked sites get millions of hits a day. So don’t necessarily expect to be on page one of Google right away unless your site is so bizarre that it has no direct competition, or it’s so good, it can’t be bypassed. But achieving high rankings is possible, and is truly vital to your online success.

Yes, Profile Backlinks can count if used sparingly and responsibly. If used with a relevant SEO keyword, it can count even more.
