In terms of getting found on the web, here are the benefits:

1) Enhance your online reputation
You create your own profile on LinkedIn. Web searchers find information on you – that you have written.

2) Improve your search engine results

LinkedIn profiles are indexed by search engines. These professional profiles receive a fairly high ranking from Google.

3) Increase web traffic

You are given up to three external links by LinkedIn in your profile. You can link to your website(s), blog and/or other online profiles. LinkedIn gets web traffic, your profile get hits – and in turn your website / blog gets clicks.

This is a strategy that may help you… it has helped me!
