Hello
I am not going to ask you which is more beneficial, because I am aware about both type of links advantages. However, my question is relate to with html tag.
For ex.
<a href=”
http://www.domain.com” target=”_blank” class=”rel=nofollow”>Keyword</a>
In this case class=”rel=nofollw” defined after main URL so let me know whether search engine crawl the link and consider it as a back link or not?
In my opinion search engine should consider it as a back link because class is not defined as follows: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.domain.com" target="_blank">Keyword</a>
