Adding Connections in LinkedIn
LinkedIn makes it easy to add new and existing contacts, known as connections, to your online network. But unlike traditional networking, LinkedIn also allows you to visualize your secondary network: the people that you could possibly meet through your connections. While this secondary network already exists offline, LinkedIn gives you an opportunity to explore these potential connections like never before. The more connections you can make on LinkedIn, the larger your secondary network will become.

Of course, it would be helpful, the more active your profile is on Linkedin the more exposure you would get, I would say.
