Linkedin "company website" link - any value?

[Ted_Cullen]

Hi

So, on Linkedin, I can put my company website.  I've been trying to figure out if this is a nofollow, or do follow - or, not even really a link.

Here's how it appears in my profile's source code

Websites

• <a target="_blank" <strong="">href="/redir/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmaxvape%2Ecom&urlhash=MtlQ&trk=ppro_website">Company Website</a>

Is this even a "link"?  I'm guessing the way it is built, no it's not even a nofollow link.

Secondly, does anyone know any good link-juice you can get form Linkedin.

Thanks!

This is for sure a follow link so they are followed by the search engine

But the follow link is not to your website, rather redirects, so i´m not sure how much link juice is your site getting.

I would try it and check in GWT if google detect it is as a link from linkedin

What is GTW?

Hello Ted,

My view is no actual link juice is passed through to your website with the Linkedin re-direct script. I have never seen a Linkedin link on any of my clients back links list for the link equity domain listings. That being said I would use Linkedin as a great source for networking to grow your business.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Bingo - I agree Joe! To me it looks like the way LinkedIn built this, it's not even a no-follow link.

If anyone else knows of any LinkedIn strategy, I'd love to hear more.
