Do links script tags pass value?

[James77]

Hi I was wondering if there was any consensus over whether links in script tags pass any value - such as the link code below?

Thanks

Typically, no, Javascript links won't be indexed and therefore won't pass value. Google has frequently claimed to be improving their parsing of JS, but i certainly wouldn't rely on it. Conversely, it's probably best not to assume they can't either (eg using JS to cloak spammy links etc.).
