Back links from sites like Wix & Wordpress.

Sorry for the newb question.

If you get a back-link from a blogger on wordpress will you get any of the 'link juice' from the platform. i.e) from the Wordpress site.  I'm talking about bloggers whose URL's would be like...www.wordpress.com/bloggersitename

I imagine not, but it would be good to know for sure.

Hi Isaac,

You get the link juice (if it's a followed link oc) but wordpress is working with subdoamains. The blog is not www.wordpress.com/bloggersitename - it is bloggersitename.wordpress.de (check that site:www.wordpress.com and site:wordpress.com in google).

You can check the Subdomain Autority and Trust using the moztoolbar. For Searchengines a subdomain is like a new domain. They don't have a special bonus because it is wordpress.com.

Excellent.  Thanks for the correction.

Essentially what I thought would be the case, but good to know for sure.

Isaac.
