BBC Links no longer pass page rank?
So they BBC has made a slight change to their external linking. Before the links opened in the same window and passed page rank. They have now changed to in the same window but via two 302 re-directs this means the page rank will not be passed on. E.g.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/relintlink/UKFS+News+v3/ext/-/http://www.aukseo.co.uk
Which uses this script
http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/redirect.shtml?http://www.aukseo.co.uk
So that’s not great news for the sites that have links from the BBC. A site that I work with are lucky enough to have a link from the BBC it will be interesting to see what effect this has on the search rankings.
