The original link seems to be a search result, which makes me wonder could this be used as some sort of SEO technique.
I'm not implying that this was OP's intention, just that from what basic understanding of SEO I have, Google takes into consideration click through rates of a link, higher click throughs resulting in more favorable rankings.
So, theoretically, if you could get a lot of people to visit an article using Google's search link, instead of a direct link, would that somehow convince Google to rank it more favorably?
Again, not something I'm accusing the OP of, just generally wondering.
- pmarin 15y agoYou are right, It was a search result. I had problems with the link I found in the Wikipedia ( http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.90.7173&rep=rep1&type=pdf http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.90....) but not sure if simply I was filling the wrong entry box in the submit page.
- kristianp 15y agoI imagine google checks that search redirect links actually come from a search result (SR) page, for example by checking the referer. Should this post be flagged because it is a duplicate bypassing the dup detection by using a google SR link? Perhaps.
