Hi, warriors!
Does google count links that are written in post or text without http and even without www checked it via opensiteexplorer and via majestic seo. I am sure these tools do not crawl such links, but what about google?

I plan to buy one domain that has a lot of abc lv type links but very few with www in front of it.

Suggestions?

    The question is a little bit difficult to read, because I am unable to write links in this forum, but I hope you can understand the basic idea.

    I believe I understand your question. Your wondering if Google will count a link like this:

    Code:
    this-is-a-link.com
    Since it is not hyperlinked yet it is obviously a reference to a site.

    Google will for sure crawl and see the reference to the site. However, I really doubt it will be counted as a link. And if it is counted I doubt it will carry the same value as a link (pagerank will probably not be passed and what not).

    It does count. Look at your webmasters tool and and if you are active in twitter you will see that Google count twitter links as backlink.
