Thanks for being my busy little researcher this week! (I just read today's post “Never Face Writer's Block again.”) Now I don't have to go digging for research for next week's posts & to-do list. Yeah! Michael gets a cookie!

Yes, I understand your point perfectly. My point was that it still benefits the person being linked to because Google doesn't know or care about the author's intentions. In other words, I get what you're saying, but I'm not interested in whether or not somebody likes me.

I didn't mean to imply the link was worthless, what I meant was the link is placed there as a courtesy for writing a guest post. It's not the same as someone finding a great piece of content and linking to it (although search engines still value it the same).

Google sees it as an authority-passing link, the same as any other in the
main content of a page.

I see the byline links as more of a 'thank you' than anything else.

Every single guest post on Copyblogger (which is most of them nowadays) has
at least one link out to the the author in the body of the post.
