Link from an app to a website?

[mascotmike]

I know someone with a phone app who would like to link to my website from the app. Would there be any SEO benefit to this at all, or would the only benefit be the traffic?

[avant_seomoz]

The Spiders cant crawl the app ( assuming its a native app ) in which case I dont think there will be any "direct" SEO benefits, but you might get new followers for you brand who might  indirectly help in SEO

but if its a web app and if search spiders can index the content then it will have some direct SEO weight to it.

NOTE : this is just my thought ( would be interesting to see if anyone thinks otherwise )

Hope that help
