indirect links - beneficial or not?
I was just reading about indirect links. I am confused if they are any beneficial or not? Look the below article: http://reference-education.ezinemark.com/what-is-t...
In the author bio, the link on keyword "Online India Education" is a redirected link. Please tell me if this kind of link is good for our website or not.
I am not sure if it called redirect link or anything else. It is just that the link doesn't contain my website url direct instead it is in the below form
http://ezinemark.com/goto.php?url=http://onlineind...
So, it is kind of indirect link. I just want to know if it is beneficial for seo purpose or not.

I am not totally clear as to your definition of indirect. Search engines do honor 301 permanent redirects, for circumstances like a relocated site.
Linking through a URL shortener probably does not pass link juice.
On site redirect links using javascript can be seen as 'cloaking' in some cases and might damage search ranking.

Indirect links otherwise known as URL shortener is beneficial from many ways. Firstly when you use long url there is specific restrictions to use in site like twitter. But when you use url shortener, this problem will not occur. Also as the url shortener is 301 redirect links, it will also pass link juice.
