      One of my best inbound links for PA and DA happens to be a footer link, curious if it's less valuable or has any value at all.

        They have become far less valuable (almost none now) for passing PR, but for internal linking its still a little valuable, especially if there arent very many.  But for the most part footers are no longer valuable - Google cracked down on that a while ago.

          Thanks! I was curious all of my competitors 'best links' (when looking at OSE) seemed to be footers as well.

          • We are moving to HTTPS and wanted to know if our link building efforts were in vain or will the link juice pass to HTTPS?

          • If external linking passes juice, why not just nofollow all external links?
