In fact this solves one of my mysteries: a search for "my podcast" on Google.com http://www.google.com/search?q=%22my+podcast%22&hl=en&start=50&sa=N returned "my podcast" iSPINIT on page 6, and on Google.ca on page 3: http://www.google.ca/search?q=%22my+podcast%22&hl=en&start=20&sa=N Very cool! Thx, Penn! Chris is right… the public profile shows unobstructed URLs.

Normally you’d be right, but take a look at the source of your public LinkedIn page. Mine shows completely unobstructed valid URLs without a nofollow in sight.

Most sites use "ref=nofollow" which tells search engines to ignore the link. Linked In and Myspace re-encode the link. For example - my site - http://www.topstartup.com becomes http://www.linkedin.com/redirect?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Etopstartup%2Ecom&urlhash=pVU8 This does nothing for SEO.
