On one hand there are caveats with this, and on the other hand more opportunities. Here's one caveat that doubles as a benefit to someone doing this (assuming you want people to find your profile):

When looking at a profile, LinkedIn shows you lists of other profiles people who have looked at this profile looks at. You should presumably show up there far more often if your profile gets seen far more often. As a result your numbers will be skewed - you won't be able to tell who visited your website vs. came to your profile because it's suddenly showing up all over LinkedIn.

On other hand, that means actual human views of your profile is likely to go up substantially too.
