URL shortened links pass PR & Anchor text?

[FONT=&quot]Could this be true that URL shortened links on Twitter or Facebook do count as normal, they pass page rank and anchor text?

Yes PR should pass trough

 

i dont know about ALL of them but yeah, most!

 

..if it's bit.ly or one one the big ones..

 

I know tinyurl use 301s, so their redirects pass link juice. Not sure about the others, but I'm guessing they all use 301s.

 

thanks guys for your comments, I didn't know that shortened URLs pass link juice. I read somewhere that when using shortened URL's in Twitter - the link juice is not passed on, I guess I should have looked into it myself rather than taking someone else's word for it, since I have re-written most of my tweets so that they would fit my full URL

 

They do.
Grab an expired domain that hosted a URL shortener and have fun

 

could be meaning that they are nofollow links
