how does google treat links in captions?

kgpixels

I've put a link to my site in the caption of some photos on my facebook

for more info visit <a onmousedown="UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this), '947a3760e29e80f1ac3188b1fea1b593', event)" href="http://www.mahonfarmhouse.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.mahonfarmhouse.com/</a&gt;

Its untrusted?

And also "nofollow"

I've tried to remove the "nofollow" but it keeps coming back.

What will google do with all this?

Google will ignore it (the link) from a ranking point of view really, that "nofollow" is Facebook telling Google that your link hasn't got the official Facebook seal of approval and the link should not increase your site's ranking.

Kind of like you walking into a pub and telling the bouncer the guy behind you isn't with you.

Don't bother trying to remove it, it's put there to prevent exactly what you're trying to do!

I'm surprised to see Facebook using onmousedown ... it's a accessibility no-no
