## Qiita

Qiita is a developer knowledge-sharing community with public user profiles. A free account lets you add your website or blog to the profile's Site/Blog section; inspected public examples use direct nofollow links.

The quickest verified route is the **Site/Blog field on your public profile**. You do not need to publish an article to use this method. Treat it as a developer identity and referral link, not a clean dofollow SEO shortcut.

### Add your site to your public profile

1. [Create a free Qiita account](https://qiita.com/signup). The signup page supports email registration and GitHub, Google, or X login. For email registration, prepare a username and password and accept the terms and privacy policy.
2. Sign in and open [public profile settings](https://qiita.com/settings/profile). Alternatively, open your own My Page and select **Edit profile**. Qiita's Japanese help calls the section **公開用プロフィール**.
3. Add your canonical website URL to **サイト/ブログ** (Site/Blog). Complete your name and a short, truthful introduction so visitors understand whose website they are opening.
4. Select **更新する** (Update) to save. The official help screenshot below shows the Site/Blog field and its position on the public profile. You do **not** need to make your email address public.

5. Open your public page at `https://qiita.com/<username>` in a logged-out window. Check that **Site/Blog** displays the right URL and that the destination is your intended website.

### What the public link looks like

The [suin profile](https://qiita.com/suin) displays a Site/Blog link to `https://yyts.connpass.com/`. Its fetched HTML uses `rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"`. A second inspected profile, [awakia](https://qiita.com/awakia), uses the same attributes for its website link. These are direct external anchors, not Qiita tracking redirects, but the `nofollow` token is why this guide does not classify the method as dofollow.

Social-account icons are a separate surface: their attributes are not evidence about your arbitrary website URL. This guide also makes no dofollow claim for article links or comments.

### Set realistic expectations

Qiita's [My Page documentation](https://help.qiita.com/ja/articles/qiita-mypage) confirms that profiles can show your site or blog and that readers can reach author profiles from articles and feeds. Useful technical contributions can therefore help people discover your profile, but publishing an article is not a prerequisite for filling the website field.

The backlink-value estimate is **3/100**, scoring a new profile with little history, not the reputation of Qiita's root domain or the established example author's following. Use a relevant technical blog, project homepage, or portfolio; an unrelated link on an empty profile is unlikely to send useful visitors.
