LinkedIn is driving traffic and engagement for publishers across the web

“LinkedIn users have very high page views per visit compared to our other distribution partners”
“Yes, LinkedIn, the professional social network .. is now by far our 2nd biggest referrer of social traffic.”
Bruce Upbin - Managing Director, Forbes. "LinkedIn, man. Big wet smack to you. You are a traffic driver par excellence"
Andrew Lipsman, VP Industry Analytics, ComScore “the trend you’re honing in on, and that I see, too, is a lot more ‘insharing’ going on now, which I think has to do with LinkedIn’s effort to turn its network into less of a utility and more of a content site.”

LinkedIn is driving traffic and engagement for publishers
“Traffic from LinkedIn to BBC News jumps tenfold in six months.”
“Average monthly referrals from LinkedIn have quadrupled in the third quarter, compared to the first quarter of 2011.”

LinkedIn Share drives high clicks back to publishers
“For every article a user "shares" with her network, LinkedIn drives an average of 1.5 clicks back to the publisher. "That is better than the average across all of our networks, of about 1.1 clicks, and is about as effective as Twitter,“ Greg Cypes – Director of Product, AddThis
“Linkedin Share is disproportionately powerful given the size of the network because "people care much more about what they're sharing [on Linkedin]," Cypes says. You can share all kinds of random nonsense on Facebook and Twitter -- and no one cares, or remembers. On Linkedin, however, your future bosses and employees are watching. People think before they share”
