If a link is located behind a log-in will it pass any value?
-
I'm assuming not, but I figured I'd ask
-
If a search engine spider does not have access to that page (because it's behind a login), it will never see the link and therefore there will be no value passed through.

Not unless the google-bot creates an account for itself and then proceeds to login

no - google is not able to go behind a log in
