Is Google 'Intelligent' enough to know if your inbound links are being used?

Hi all,

I'm researching inbound links and how a number of good quality inbound links for good quality websites can influence your SERPS.

But I'm wondering if Google can (aswell as knowing the number of inbound links), measure how often people click on the inbound link to visit your site.

Thanks for any feedback

 

Yes Google can get to know about it

If either the source site where the link is present has Google Analytics or the destination has G.A installed.

If both do not have G.A then it is not possible.
Feed backs are welcomed

 

so do you think Google will move you up the SERPS if people click on your inbound links; since it's kind of a 'vote' from the user that (a)your link is relevant and (b)the user wants to learn more about your site.

If the above was true, it would discount any links placed on high PR sites that weren't relevant to yours wouldn't it? (e.g. a high PR Travel site with a link to a furniture website isn't likely to have many clickthroughs - therefore Google will place less value on that link)??

 

Hi

I want to tell you that Google know about your every activity which you are doing for your website. So whatever you are doing thing before then step forward.

Hope you understand.

 

Dude! Dude! Dude! Google knows everything... If you are collecting inbound links from good quality sites which has 1000's of visitors.. So you will get the visitors from inbound links.

 

thanks all for the input

 

You have *got* to be kidding, right? A *lot* of websites out there don't have GA on.

Of more interest, do backlinks that 404 or go to some other kind of "page not found" page count for anything? I have maybe 8000 natural backlinks pointing to pages that I've removed.

 

I dont' think that has any effect with Google.
