Linkedin Optimization - Update

What was done: my linkedin profile was nowehere to be found in the Google Search Results for the search term, "warren pattison." I optimized my linkedin profile by making the URL more search friendly and added a link to my profile from my blog.

Update 6/17/2007: My linkedin profile is now ranked #2 in Google, #1 in Yahoo and still in no-man's land in MSN.

Yahoo Weather Report

Yahoo announced that they have made changes to their Organic Search algorithm which has changed their SERPs slightly. So far it looks as though authoritative sites have fallen and spammy/ scraper and "just another affiliate" type sites have gained ranking ground. The dust should settle in the next couple of days and bring an overall favorable relevancy experience.

LinkedIn Optimization

My linked in profile for Warren Pattison has vanished from the Google SERPs for search phrases related to my name. I have put a lot of effort into my LinkedIn profile from tips offered from Guy Kawasaki's excellent post LinkedIn Profile Extreme Makeover

My link above to http://www.linkedin.com/in/warrenpattison should help boost my profile back into top 5 status.

I'll repost and let you know.
