does this link count towards my site

I site has linked to me like this

www.site-that-is-linking.com/redirect_cat.asp?CategoryID=23

Does this still count for PR?

thanks

 

I can't view the links that you've posted.

 

same here, the link doesnt seem to work.

 

OMG he was trying to give an example. Sorry I could not be of more help fadetoblack22 I am sure someone here will. I love metallica too.

 

I think google now counts it as a link back

 

thanks "Stanley Lyndon" for being the most awake in this thread. Yeh metallica are the best!

credit to the others though...the link didnt display as I wanted it to - It cut short and made it into an actaul hyperlink. Here is the example again:

site-that-is-linking.com/redirect_cat.asp?CategoryID=23

 

Yes, but being a dynamic link means that the link will probably change or be deleted some time in the future, leaving you with no back link or worse a irrelevant page linking to your site.

 

Read above - its only an example of a redirect link.

 

I think it will because google dont check how link looks.
It check as source code and in it only your site name like www.you.com

But if it is dynamic i dont think its good

 

I believe the smart search engines should look at the url and just use that information for pagerank calculation. So yes, should count.

But I've also heard that url parameters lower the pagerank? Anyone know about this?

 

I do not believe redirect urls count as backlinks. It has to be a normal link.

 

No that does'nt count as a back link. unfortunatly

 

i see 4040 error on the link which you mention.

i think they will not be counted as a backlink

 

i dont know..the link didnt work

 

the link is an example of using dynamic redirect. show it is a question whether that kind of link would has effect on PR for the site it point to. i have no idea whether it count or not. but if it does maybe it wouldn't last.

 

LOL! can;t believe some are actually trying to follow the link

well, it is redirected link and will NOT count. reason sites do redirection is to keep the spamers out. example is MySpace which is using URL redirection now for some time. MySpace is now spammers paradise (lot of legid users are there also but more spammers than real users i think) where spammer come to market their site by posting on other peopl's profile leaving backlinks. that forced MySpace to start using url redirection and those redirected URLs dont count as backlinks.

 

Hey, did anyone else see that the link didn't work? lol, sorry couldn't resist.

How do you figure that would be worse?
