      It looks like LinkedIn's links are using the http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url= prefix for the external Websites links and is recently using 302 redirects.

        I can say this much, I have had a link to my college football blog on my linkedin profile for a long time. In GWT it does not show linkedin as a domain that links to me. In OSE it does not show linkedin as a domain that links to me. So my guess is either they are unable to crawl or find the links in my profile, the links are nofollow, or they simply aren't passing any link juice.

        Just checked, there are a few links to my public profile and it is http and not https, so it is being crawled and is indexed. The links are not nofollowed. Seems the links aren't passing and juice.

          I noticed the same thing a couple weeks back!

          The 302 redirects aren't as "bad" as nofollow tags from what I've heard, still passing some link juice to external pages, according to this Google thread: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=7ee9dbd3802c2a2a&hl=en

          That said, I believe LinkedIn is one of the authoritative social sites from which the engines are considering links, even if they are nofollowed (like Twitter & Facebook).

            Should I disavow these links?

            backlinks toxicbacklinks audit backlinkaudit disavow

            Hi all, I have a ski website that I am currently performing a toxic backlink audit on. I have noted that a lot of the links being flagged as toxic/spammy by the tool I am using seem to be the same/similar sites with different URLs. The sites are vaguely related to skiing (relating to helicopter travel options for travelling to ski resorts) but it is concerning me that there are so many of them and they are being flagged as so toxic.
            Do you think it is worth disavowing these? Or contacting the owner to ask them to remove the link? I have included an example of some of the links below. https://www.cannes-helicopters.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
            https://nice-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5
            https://monaco-helicopter.co.uk/index.php?menuopen=21&showcontent=5 Slightly different site but same favicon icon:

            https://www.whitetracks-holidays.com/Helicopter_Transfers_Villars_Switzerland.htm Thanks in advance for any advice / help!

            Back link from site with DA of 72 to a website domain. Clicking on the link redirects to our website not the attended one.

            Hi,
            I've ran a back link check and discovered a good back link to a site which then gets redirected back to my company's website. I have a feeling that an old SEO agency has purchased a small website which has a decent link back from a relevant organisation with a high Domain authority and then redirects the domain to our website to get the link juice. What are your thought on this? Is this really bad practise and possibly damaging? Thanks, Jim

            Houzz Comment Links

            A company I am working with has been posting pictures and links to their website in the comments section of Houzz articles. I notice many companies have been doing this in general. While it generates decent amounts of traffic, I am wondering if google sees 30 links coming from article comments that it will deem that as spam? My gut tells me to send these comment links to the Houzz member profile, then direct them to your own website. Thoughts? ***Anyone in home design, decor, etc. should really get involved there. Fantastic source of business for professional in that field.

            A link with "return false"- OSE sees as a No Followed Link

            Hello, I couldn't find a clear answer to the impact on SEO for a link written in this way: [" class="expert_info" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=) [Does the "return false" act as a "no follow"? I came across this in our link data in Open Site Explorer which lists these links all as "no follows." However, an engineer I spoke to said that it shouldn't impact search engine behavior. Any ideas? Thank you in advance! -Sarah K.](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=)

            Etsy.com --Getting link juice through other pages on search results?

            My sister has a store page on etsy.com where she sells home made crafts. And I want to help her rank higher on google with some of the other etsy stores. So i started to look at the other etsy store pages that are ranking well on google and found that they have a page authority between 48 to 52. So i looked at the backlinks of the ones ranking well on google with high page authority and found that many of their best links came from the internal search results page on etsy.com, and some only had one link from just an arbitrary etsy.com search page. I'm thinking this is because another product being listed on the seach page has a high page authority which then passes some of its link juice onto every other product on the page. But what is interesting is products are always being sold or getting added so even though you are on a search results page that happens to benifit from the link juice of another product the next time the page gets crawled you will be on a different search page. So i am thinking in order to maintain high page authority to you just have to have a lot of products listed so that there is a greater likely hood that you will find yourself on the same search page as another high authority page. I have not been doing SEO very long so i would love to hear what others think. I really have no idea, am i on the right track with this? (edited post) Thanks
