Does Linkedin still pass link juice?
-
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).

Footer Links And Link Juice
I'm starting to learn about link juice and notice in GWMT > Traffic > Internal Links, that the list is in this order by the links counted on each page. Some are in the footer and some are in the header, with some being more important than others commercially i.e. /register /privacy /terms /search /sitemap /disclaimer /blog /register So I am wondering if I should add a 'no-follow' attribute to the footer links i.e. privacy, terms, disclaimer and leave the others as they are? Does this help retain link juice on each page where the links appear? Or am I missing the point all together? This is my website: http://goo.gl/CN0e5

Does the ratio of external nofollow links to external "do follow" links matter in terms of SERPs ranking?
My site has an external link nofollow:dofollow ratio of approximately 1:1 That is, there are about as many nofollow external links as "do follow" external links. I have an impression that the ratio of no-follow to "do follow" links is a factor in the way that our website shows up in SERPs. I have the impression from reading a variety of sources, and from looking at Seomoz, that calculate "trust" factors as if they mattered (in SERPs), that seem to value a relatively low nofollow:dofollow ratio. Am I correct about that? Thanks,

Links on the same keyword
When is linking from one particular keyword to much. At what point could link building from one keyword be considered spam and potentially delist a site ? Is it possible for a site to be delisted for having to many links from the same keyword ? Heard linking from the website name is more important following recent changes. I try and link from a selection of 3 to 4 keywords. Thanks for your help
