Do links with tracking codes pass PageRank?
-
I have a client that has acquired a link from an influential partner but the partner has set the link up to have clicks tracked within their analytics.
Do links like this pass PageRank:
-
Thanks for your answer.
This is not an affiliate link. No money is passing hands.
The link has the format you can see above. It is a direct link but has tracking code on it.
Do you think the tracking code would make the search engines think it is an affiliate link?

Why is Webmaster Tools not Linking Correctly Google Analytics?
I have a global site with .com as the US site and then /country for all other markets i.e. .com/uk .com/de etc. Each site has it's own WMT profile. Each site has it's own GA profile. Since Google added Search Engine Optimization to the GA interface, I can't track these sites separately under this new feature. It seems to me that it can only be associated with a single WMT profile at a time or rather that WMT can only be associated with a single GA profile at a time. The numbers for the UK and US site are identical, but when I try and link the UK WMT account with GA it removes it from the US profile and vice versa.
