As various members have tried to explain in your other threads, links which you obtain in this manner - by posting them yourself - are of very little benefit, because they're too easy to get and to manipulate. The links which will benefit your site in terms of SEO are those which are not easy to obtain, which are not self-created, but come from solid, reputable sites. The only way to obtain these links is by ensuring your own site has such high-quality content that other people will choose to link to it, for the benefit the links will provide to their own visitors.

Document sharing is a pointless exercise, as I say on an almost weekly basis here.

The reason it is a pointless exercise is because people assume that these links are of decent quality. The reality of the situation is that you've spent x amount of time writing an article, and y amount of time adding the article and your link to this page; a page which is of really low-quality on a site with many low-quality pages and links. Congratulations! You've wasted x + y time for nothing! If a company knew that you'd did this for no benefit they'd probably fire your ass.

Imagine a website as a bowl and a link as a small hole. Now fill that bowl with water and call it "Google Juice". The more links we add to this page, the more water flows from the bowl. The average document sharing website get a lot of visitors and appear to be popular, but only because these sites are used by SEO spammers. They are all pushing holes into the bowl, and before long the bowl is a ton of holes and the water just falls through. Even if this document site was the best site on the planet, the sheer number of articles and the sheer number of links make your link pointless.

Document sharing sites are the ultimate scam. They've hustled the hustlers, and they're profiting off of SEO spammers and their countless man-hours spent spamming.
