Updated over 2 months ago

If you encounter the "This page doesn't exist" message on LinkedIn, it may be due to changes made by the LinkedIn user or LinkedIn itself. Here are the most likely reasons:

Reasons Why a LinkedIn URL Might No Longer Exist

  1. Profile URL Update
    The user updated their LinkedIn URL, possibly after a name change (e.g., marriage) or adding credentials.

  2. Custom URL Change
    The user replaced the default URL with a custom one.

  3. Account Deactivation
    The user deactivated their LinkedIn account.

  4. Account Merger
    LinkedIn merged the account with another if it was flagged as a duplicate.

  5. Removal of Bot Accounts
    LinkedIn may have removed the account if it was mistakenly flagged as a bot.

  6. Unverified Account Deletion
    LinkedIn deleted the account because it remained unverified.

How to Manually Find the User’s LinkedIn Profile

If you encounter this error, try the following methods to locate the person’s profile:

  • Search by Name: Use their name to search directly on LinkedIn.

  • Job Title Search: Look for the person by their job title.

  • Company Search: Find them using the company they are associated with.

  • Other Professional Networks: Explore alternative networks or social media platforms for updated information.

These strategies may help you find the person’s new LinkedIn profile or locate them on other professional sites.
