Does Google follow links found in PDF documents? Is there any value to these from an SEO perspective? Would the value be lower than a standard link on an equivilant page? For example, if I had the choice of a link on a PR5 page, or having my PDF brochure displayed on that same page (which contains links back to my website), would there be a clear choice if the value of the link was the only consideration? Thanks in advance to anybody who can help!
Hello PDF are a great one, how many times I have search for something and got a pdf document in the results. The name of the PDFs are also very important so keep that in mind when naming any file that is available as a download. Interactive Hive
If the PDF is actually displayed in the page (The content of the page is a PDF file), I think links will have the same value, not if what you have in the page is a link to a PDF document.
Hi mate. I remember reading somewhere that Google does crawl links in PDFs - although I reckon you'd be best off taking a straight link from a PR5 page rather than passing it through the PDF. Hope that helps Nice clean in-content text link off a relevant PR5 page . . . Can't beat it
