Does Linkedin still pass link juice?
-
It looks like LinkedIn's links are using the http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url= prefix for the external Websites links and is recently using 302 redirects.

I can say this much, I have had a link to my college football blog on my linkedin profile for a long time. In GWT it does not show linkedin as a domain that links to me. In OSE it does not show linkedin as a domain that links to me. So my guess is either they are unable to crawl or find the links in my profile, the links are nofollow, or they simply aren't passing any link juice.
Just checked, there are a few links to my public profile and it is http and not https, so it is being crawled and is indexed. The links are not nofollowed. Seems the links aren't passing and juice.

I noticed the same thing a couple weeks back!
The 302 redirects aren't as "bad" as nofollow tags from what I've heard, still passing some link juice to external pages, according to this Google thread: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=7ee9dbd3802c2a2a&hl=en
That said, I believe LinkedIn is one of the authoritative social sites from which the engines are considering links, even if they are nofollowed (like Twitter & Facebook).

Nasty links
Hi My first q on here (hoorah!), and it's about links (boo!). I've got what appears to be a handful (but worryingly, increasing in number) of links pointing to my site like this: http://condos.mrgulffront.com/florida-condos-for-sale/320-scenic-gulf-drive-miramar-beach-fl-32550-mls-567591/ I've made contact with the sites concerned, and had only one positive response who flatly denied all knowledge of it. The issue (as far as I can see) is that as in the above example the links (on the bottom right in the grey box) are forever changing so not always visible. Can anyone offer any guidance as to these kinds of nasty links.... I'm right at the v beginning on this "path of seo understanding" so please don't assume prior knowledge! Thanks in advance.... tom

Link Detox and Link Removal
I have a question about which links to remove after running a link detox from Link Research Tools. First a little back story. I had had an SEO company link building for one of the websites I own. But I have recently stopped working with them. In the last month my rankings have near dropped off the charts. I have just recently gotten access to Google webmaster tools and noticed an unnatural link warning from back in March. So yesterday I ran link detox and it reported 19 toxic links, 120 suspicious links, and 24 healthy links. It's rather obvious that I should remove all of the toxic links. They all from sites that have been deindexed by google. But my question is a about the suspicious links. What should my criteria be for removing them? Am I better off removing them all and leaving my site with only 24 healthy links or should I personally comb through them and remove only the worst of the worst so that I leave my site with a few more links? I'd really like to get the site ready to resubmit to google as soon as I can. Thoughts? yyCOf.png

Link Frequency
I understand that good link building is all about the quality of the link / the anchor text attached to it. But, what about frequency? Should I build until I can't build anymore? or create a plan to submit links to a certain # of sites per week/month?
