Linked in public profiles
-
It seems that linked in is doing some type of redirect on their links, that block them from passing value to the connected site.
Is there anyway to get link value out of public LinkedIn profiles, or did they shut that down?
-
OK, I learned something today.
I looked closely. Linked in is using a temporary redirect, that apparently results in the same as a nofollow.
-
One of the tools I use to manage links is Caphyon - "Advanced Link Manger", that tool is report the link as a "NoFollow". I also noticed that LinkedIn is not coming up in the data provided for "Open Site Explorer" in none of the sites that I manage (site that i have Public Link in LinkedIn setup).
Do you feel that LinkedIn is passing Link Juice to your site?
Here is one of the profiles that should be working

I'm not seeing a connection in Webmaster tools for this either.

What makes you say this?
In my LinkedIn profile, I see this code in the link to my website:
Because that automatically redirects, and there is no "nofollow", it should work.

Link removal
We were hit by penguin and have been going through the process of removing bad links. Things were looking up but then wasa 20% jump in our bad links. They all seem to be related. There are over 100 different domains that all seem to go back to mbiz. examples include http://www.5stone.com.cn/Literature-holders-.html http://www.building-stone.com/Display-furniture.html http://www.china-tombstone.com/Display-exhibition-products-.html It looks like they have automatically gathered data from google to create these pages. I would hope that the guys at Google are clever enough to be aware of these sorts of links. But if not I need to get them removed. I have tried whois but I cant find out how to contact these guys. Has anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks

Reciprocal links
I've heard that reciprocal links don't count anymore. If i stop linking to a person that links to me, will that link to my website start counting? Do reciprocal links count at all in google? Anchor text? anything? Thanks in advance! Ron

Do links from the second page of an article pass link juice?
I have been writing for some sites with a high overall page rank and the articles are being viewed as quality by search engines as well. However, they usually put a link to my site at the very end of the article and then break the article down into two pages to increase ad revenue. It seems that I'm not getting much credit for that link even if the page has a high SEOmoz/PR score. I want to know if I am getting the benefit from these links. If not, how do I make sure I get the most bang, even if my link is on a second page of the article? Here is an example of what I mean: http://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2012/08/22/kanban-for-customers-how-to-increase-transparency-in-your-business/

Buy links
I know that many of you are against the whole thing with buying links. Your feelings put aside. Will it be better for my site to buy links or even do link exchange? Haven´t the crawlers been thought by now how to find these untrue links? I have read somewhere that the stop after 100 links, aren´t they smarter than that?

Outsourced Link Building
Hello, I'm pretty sure everyone will just tell me to do the link building myself, but the truth is I don't have time. I've looked at link building firms in the past (and even used one), and they were all pretty dodgy. What should I look for in a quality link builder? What costs do you think are reasonable for a quality link? Is there anything you wish you'd known before going down a similar path? Thanks in advance for any help!
