Link from Google.com

Hi guys

I've just seen a website get a link from Google's Webmaster Snippet testing tool. Basically, they've linked to a results page for their own website test. Here's an example of what this would look like for a result on my website.

There's a meta nofollow, but I just wondered what everyone's take is on Trust, etc, passing down?

(Don't worry, I'm not encouraging people to go out spamming links to results pages!)

Looking forward to some interesting responses!

Hi

I have a similar issue, we are currently trying to get onto their stockist pages for some of the products we sell.

I know they are "nofollow' links, but I am thinking surely they must pass some weight to the product pages. When I last did the analysis everyone that is on the stockist page ranks above me, even if there DA is lower and all other Moz metrics is lower. (I know other factors affect rankings), but I am certain that getting a link will result in higher rankings.

Be interested to see what others think

Thanks for the response Andy

I guess it's easier for an agency to create these back links from a handy link on how to check snippets than it is for an ecomms site. If I get round to trying, and can even get some vague idea whether it's worked or not, I'll let you know! Shame nobody else has anything to contribute so far!

Ou of interest, which 'stockist pages' were you referring to?

Thanks

its only on the .co.uk version and its a link on the Chromebook where to buy pages.

Its so difficult even my Account manager and support team at Google can't help.

As we don't purchase direct from Google, we don't have a marketing contact and this is the person we need to get the link.

I've probably had to do double the work to get listed where I am compared to my competitors.

I'm surprised that they're not keen to link through - you're a reputable brand, and I'm sure they're making the same margin on the sales anyway.

Anyway, good luck!

PS. Links from here are followed! http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en_uk/chrome/devices/

I am happy they are now followed, I am sure when I previously checked they we no followed, no just to get a link
