Do google groups links show up as backlinks?

[snedden]

Hello

If suppose you submit a post in a google group, and the post contains an active hyperlink, will that link be counted in backlinks to that particular site(link) ?

If yes, what value is that backlink compared to a backlink from a normal site.

hello

In my opinion. It would act as normal back links. but i dont know if other search engines like yahoo ever crawled google groups page.

But if bots can access that page it would act as a back link. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

If you're planning to spam Google Groups I dont think is a good idea.
