How to use this list
- Pick 8-12 platforms that overlap with your audience — quality > quantity.
- Reuse the bio templates above so your wording stays consistent across the web (this helps Google's entity recognition).
- Always add an avatar + cover image — bare profiles look like spam and get nofollowed harder.
- Verify your site where the platform offers it (Pinterest, Mastodon, Crunchbase) — it unlocks dofollow or "verified" badges.
- Don't blast all 35 in one day. Spread submissions over 2-3 weeks and post real content where the platform expects it (a Medium article, a Behance project, a Dev.to post).

Frequently asked questions
Are Web 2.0 profile links still worth building in 2026?
Yes — but the value has shifted. Most major platforms apply rel="nofollow" or rel="ugc" so you will not pass raw PageRank. The wins are: brand citations Google factors into entity recognition, direct referrer traffic from your bio, and SERP coverage when your profile pages rank for your name.
Why are some marked "dofollow"?
Platforms like Dev.to, Hashnode, Vimeo, CodePen, Issuu and F6S still publish dofollow links on profile or post URLs as of late 2025. We mark them so you can prioritise. Attribution can change at any time — verify with a quick "view source" if you need certainty.
Should I create profiles on every platform?
No. Pick the 8-12 most relevant to your audience and fill them out properly with a real bio, avatar, banner and a link back. Half-finished profiles signal spam; complete profiles compound over time.
Is a tool that just generates signup URLs really useful?
The shortlist + the copy-ready bio template is the value. Each platform has its own register URL, its own bio character limit, and its own link rules — having those pre-stitched with your site URL turns a 90-minute chore into about 20 minutes.
