Will google count this as a backlink?

    I know that if you do <a href="...sdfsdf.com">link</a> , google will count it.

    But what if you go on a blog and type www.link.com (with no html, just text).

    Will google scan that and make that a link?

    Because when i type link: johnchow.com , I saw that as a link before

    It all depends on the blog, if the blog is nofollow google will not count your link.

    google only updates their backlinks once in a while so its never definitive but if you have a link to your site on another, it IS a backlink lol, i mean, it is a physical backlink, you have it there pointing to your site, you don't need google to tell you what it is

    I think both are counts.
    previous one can boost SERP another one can't.

    It will only count as a backlink if it appears with <a href="..."> and followed attribute if viewed under html source.

    Gogle will only count if its a hyper(Without no follow tag) link and not just text.

    For example, this does not count as a back link
