Why Your LinkedIn Profile Views Might Go Down After a Rewrite - CareerEnlightenment.com

If you want more views, you need to view other profiles!It makes sense. By using your new messaging and keywords, your targeted People Searches will result in more relevant people to connect with, and improve the response rate when you communicate with them.For example, if I started to view profiles of people I want to connect with, but my profile is old and not related to this new direction, its less likely they will view me  back, let alone agree to connect with me.But with a new profile, geared toward your future direction, the focused people searches and connection requests will be way more fruitful for you.A Lot of Bad Cookies, or One Amazing CookieWhich would you rather have, a jar of 100 cookies, or 1 gourmet  cookie?It only takes one, highly targeted and highly motivated connection to get you into your dream job. The goal is one  job, the goal is NOT massive profile views. Right?So track your goals based  on the number of new meaningful  conversations you have and dont get lo st in the trees and lose your view of the forest.Post ScriptNo one really knows whats involved in LinkedIns search algorithm. If its like Google, there can be a time gap after new content is uploaded. Results may be based on the age of the content, it may be based on the number of connections or recommendations someone has. No one knows because LinkedIn doesnt release that information.There is no way to guarantee an increase in profile views. Any resume writer who makes that claim is taking a huge risk  with your money.Out of integrity, I wont make that guarantee. And as a consumer, I wouldnt trust anyone who makes that claim either.
