LinkedIn incorporates the last date/time you updated your profile into its search rankings somehow.

This is a bit like how MySpace results work, by default, they show people who have recently logged in or changed their profile.

This simple algorithm works out really well — people normally update their profile only when they’re starting to look for a new job or have already found one.

Even if you have nothing new to add — try updating your LinkedIn profile just for the fun of it, and you’ll soon be inundated with requests for connecting or business offers.
