What are the benefits of using LinkedIn for business? How can I get traffic from this social networking website?

It is one more site on which you can promote your business.

If your corporate profile includes the keywords that other LinkedIn users search for, your site will come up in those searches (assuming your Profile page is public).

I don't think it results in massive traffic, but it will be very targetted traffic. The fact that Linkedin is a service for professionals means most of the people there are business people. Not many students or casual users. So make sure to provide an honest listing of your services/qualifications/etc. or your company's services.
