Most important thing is to expand your connections. You can only rely on appearing in search so much. Bear in mind that whenever you do something to LinkedIn, it gets blasted out to all your contacts in their activity feed. So the more contacts you have, the more people will see their updates.

I recommend being liberal with adding people you meet on LinkedIn. That's not to say you should be spammy or add people you don't know, but if you meet someone at a conference tell them you'll look for them on LinkedIn.

Once you've grown your network of contacts, be sure to update regularly and with useful content! But not TOO regularly.

Also bear in mind that with LinkedIn, you are catering to working professionals. I prefer to update my profile early on weekdays, because I suspect that'll get my changes to the most eyeballs.

Aaah, I see.

I have a very good network, but I only update my profile, I don't write stuff or generate content. I suppose this is where I go wrong. (and what I am supposed to put in content there anyway?)
