This is a nice post in an interesting line of content. I have myself gained a lot from few blog posts like yours to optimize my profile. I have seen a great improvement in its ranking on linkedin as well as on Google itself.

I am using the linkdin profile for my web development work, and blog promotion.
At a daily basis I work in the oil industry. I am not sure if I should include my CV for my work in the oil industry, since I’m not interested in connecting with people in that niche.
I am just interested in webdevelpment connections, so for now my profile and experience it quite thin.
I have a lot of connections, but I have stopped adding new connections, since I got a warning for adding people that didn’t know me… Personally I don’t see the problem, if you’re in a network to connect why wouldn’t you connect to new people. I cant see the point of connecting to people you already know only..

Just a word of caution regarding Job Titles: once you receive a recommendation for a position, it’s not so easy anymore to change the wording of the Job Title. In effect, any recommendation for that position would be disconnected and hidden until you individually contact each person who recommended you to confirm their recommendation still applies to the new wording of the job title/position.
