John Mueller regularly answers questions on his Google+ and Twitter accounts about SEO . I don't report much of what is said because not everything is always important, but a recent question asked on Twitter struck me as interesting. A tweeter asked the Google spokesperson whether Javascript links, once rendered in the DOM, are taken into account by Google in the same way as regular HTML links.
The response was unequivocal:
We've talked aboutYes, a link is a link, no off page seo service matter how it appears on the page. It wouldn't really
Let's be precise until the end, John Mueller is only talking about links generated in Javascript that offer an "HTML" rendering in the DOM when the script is loaded . In other words, a classic <a href="URL">Anchor</a> link is taken into account by Google, and if you generate this same type of link in the DOM via Javascript, it is quite logical that Google will take it into account as well. On the other hand, if you encrypt a link or use redirection systems via Javascript, there is no guarantee that the link will be taken into account, which is also why Facebook (in particular) uses this type of system in addition to rel="nofollow" to ensure that no link juice (PageRank) is transmitted. This consideration therefore remains limited to a construction of classic links via Javascript...
