Funny story, but the PDF I posted about optimizing PDF’s, which had a couple of tests in it to see if link juice would be passed to a couple of charity sites was indexed in Google before I presented it at Pubcon in 2007. However it wasn’t indexed for long after!! I’ll be looking for evidence of PDF’s passing link juice. We’ll need to start seeing PDF’s in our indicators of important incoming links, but that won’t happened until more people embed links in PDF’s on a regular basis. (If anyone sees what they think is evidence of this let us know) So look at embedding links in PDF”s primarily as a way to get people and search engines to follow links to your site from online PDF’s Unfortunately I can’t be sure if PDF’s pass link juice.

I am wondering if you or anyone else has determined whether links within PDF's pass linkjuice. Thanks! Hi George, I have thoroughly enjoyed your original doc on PDF optimizations.
