    Hey friends, There is a little confusion in my mind in case of backlink:confused:
    Assume, I have a backlink to your blog in my top site navigation portion or the footer section and the link is dofollow. As site navigation and footer is visible on every page of that website. So, in this case, will this backlink by counted just once or it will be counted as a backlink form every page of that blog/website?
    Am I clear?
    Also, How would you support your take?

    Well here is my experience...

    I placed one link on my blogger blog (on link widget) to my WP forex blog one year ago. Now I can sew 20 to 25 links from my blogger blog when I check Google web master tools.

    To remove your confusion you should understand how wordpress works
    Wordpress is a CMS system and speciall designed for bloggers to make dynamic, seo friendly and attractive blogs.
    The CMS are designed in such a ways that the Header, footer and sidebar remains same for all pages and only the body, title and somethings get change in the pages. So when you place a link in header it will be placed on every page and every new page of your website.

    Thanks Avelina.
    BTW it hold true not only for WordPress but for everyplatform. Unless we intentionally choose to hide everything.
    SO, itf a website has more than 1000 pages with PR 3 or more, it can really make a new domain fly in the air with a header or footer backlink. But I personally think that engines would consider it a link from homepage only. Just a feeling, No rerasoning :)

    I totally agree - it's a site-wide link.

    If the link isn't imperative, I'd say remove it and replace it with a self-serving link with targeted anchor text. Just an idea. :)

    It will be counted as backlinks from every pages. Some webmasters buy this kind of links from other webmasters to build large amount backlinks for their websites.

    Backlinks are incoming links to a website or web page

    The back link would be counted as multiple links because every page is taken as a unique url, that should be crawl again. hopefully, it will clear a bit of your confusion. hope so..

    I think it will be and shall be counted everytime, as it also happens in case of signature in forums, every time you post or create a new thread the link to your site appears in signature and it is counted everytime.
