Backlinks and PDFs

[danieldunn10]

Hi, we are trying to improve on the number of links to our website.

A supplier has added a PDF file which is case study to their website.

In the PDF it has a link to our website, will this count as a link or not?

Thanks

Google can crawl pdfs so it does count as a link however it's not the strongest link in the world.

Daniel,

Yes, they will count.  Take a look at EGOL's answer on this.

No more needed than EGOL's answer
