Article Overview: Linkedin is the premier business social network and every business person needs a Linkedin profile – with a photo and recommendations. The photo is easy, but how do you go about getting recommendations? Most profiles have only 2 or 3.

How to Get Linkedin Recommendations
B2B Lead Generation | Linkedin Recommendations
One truism is this. No matter how many recommendations you have today - you need more. But how do you get them?
To see what an ideal profile should look like, check out the profile on Linkedin of Jeff Ogden, President of Find New Customers – who has over 40 recommendations from top B2B marketing experts. (This profile was also featured in the popular book for job-seekers, Get Back to Work Faster.)
I asked someone what she thought would be the best way to get more Linkedin recommendations. She replied “Ask for them?” I told her no – that’s not the best way.
The best way to get Linkedin recommendations is this:
Write Linkedin recommendations for others.
Gift-giving, without asking for anything in return, is a powerful way
to engage people. This is why the business mantra at the B2B demand generation company, Find New Customers is “Always Be Helping.”
My advice to you is to go to Linkedin, find contacts you know and
start writing recommendations for others. That will put you in good
stead with many and win you numerous recommendations.
What do you think? We love comments and those who share our content on social networks.

the way they attract, engage and win new customers. Contact Find New Customers by calling (516) 495-9350 or sending an email to sales at findnewcustomers.com.

Re: Social Networking Site Endorsements
- Hi Shri,
If you don't like the person who sends you request to be friend, then you shouldn't add him as a partner. Try to be away from bad neighborhood.
It is general for all social networking sites (DIgg, Stumble Upon etc.), not for only Linkedin. There will be a lot of requests for becoming partner, but you should watch that person's past activity carefully and stay away from sucpicious guys, especially spammers.
