SEO Tycoon

not sure if this is the place to ask this question or not. But I have a newsletter I send out daily and I have links that go directly back to my site for content. But some times I post links in the newsletter to other sites, news sites and stuff in my newsletter. I'm wondering if I should be linking those newsletter links through my website and having it redirect the visitors to the site. Does that help with SEO?

Well even from a marketing point of view, never send someone straight to another site. Route them throuh a landing page on your own site and make sure there is something on that page for them to do/buy rather than following the original link. Think its called funneling?

The links in your newsletter are a good source of traffic, but they don't have a direct effect in your ranking.

Prioritize on your own links to your landing page in your website first...

Except, you provide advertisement space for others to put their links in your newsletters, like feedblitz.. if not, better to have your only links to your site

Those links won't help with SEO as they won't be in a position to be crawled by any search engine spiders.

Unless of course you publish them online in an archive, and make sure you put them in your sitemap so the spiders can find them.
