TheReferralAdvisor.com Your LinkedIn profile should be thought of as a marketing tool. Think about what your objectives are on LinkedIn and update your profile accordingly.

find a job
generate leads & referrals
find an investor
find referral partners
find subscribers for your email newsletter

Based on an unscientific search after submitting a release to pitchengine I seemed to get some traction and some impact on the search engines. Just a thought.
