Simple Link Question

[Webdeal]

Hi Guys,

I will appreciate if you answer 1 small question.....

Will our site benefit from that link?
Valuable website related to our business ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on second site) ---link to our site --->

Kind Regards,

You will not get any thing from the link "link Juice is the common term"

Hope that helps,

Site 1 ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on Site 2 ) ---link in PDF ---> Your Site

Assuming Site 1 is a high profile site the PDF will get some benefit out of that nofollow link and the link from the pdf will help your site. So in theory there is some small amount of indirect SEO value to be had there.

Hi Saijo,

based on your answer...

Strong profile site -----Follow Link ----> Site2 --Follow link -----> To mysite

will look much stronger....Correct?

Thank you

What do you mean by "look much stronger."

Page rank domain trust will not change with a no follow

[Webdeal]

All i meant..... better to have a link like

Strong profile site -----Follow Link ----> Site2 --Follow link -----> To mysite

rather then...

Site 1 ---nofollow link--> PDF Doc(on Site 2 ) ---link in PDF ---> To mysite

Tell me if i am wrong...

Are there any opportunities here? Why does the valuable website link to the PDF doc? Can you provide a better (quality), more accessible (html) page that they'd link to instead of the PDF? Can you provide other content around the same topic that they'd be interested in? Do they ever use followed links in their content?

At the end of the day, it's still a nofollow link so the benefit will be minimal/insignificant unless you get direct referral traffic via that link,

+1 to what Doug said. A nofollow link can still drive a lot of value in the form of traffic. Looking for additional ways to turn that page into a linkable resource would probably be the best use of your time, rather than trying to figure out which specific links will have the most benefit.
