Hello Andy Beard, it does not.
All this proves is some links - show up in a search engine inquiry!
Thus allowing Google.com to include it in their index(s). But Matt Cutts and Brian White have already stated on SearchEngineWatch that onlick will NEVER PASS GOOGLE JUICE.

Look at that forum thread very close, and the similarities of the URL posted, Matt Cutts and Brian White state they will not pass Google Juice because of the onclick function provokes different behavior.
So you’re blowing smoke, Andy Beard.
Examine that thread and then come back to me, on your take of the discussion that took place on SearchEngineWatch.com.

Correction Mr. Andy Beard.
Matt Cutts & Brian Davis of Google.com both comment on this sneaky method of using JavaScript onclick in URLS. There statements agree with my review, that Blog Catalog does not pass Pagerank because of the onclick function in the URL tag of each and every blog listed.
Also each blog listed that has included their RSS feed has a nofollow tag attributed in the Recent Post section of their blog listing.
So the bloggers get nothing out of it, as far as Pagerank or backlinks for doing so yet Blog Catalog gets free content.
So please check your references before stating something is false, and insure you know what your talking about before claiming to detour someone that knows what their doing.
I am not attacking Blog Catalog so I hope know one deceives this post as that; because they do offer some benefits to bloggers looking at increasing readership or traffic from users of Blog Catalog clicking through the directory.
From an SEO stand point they offer nothing of any value -- each blog listed with Blog Catalog will not see an increase in Google Pagerank from being listed with them.
So are the only benefits of listing your blog with Blog Catalog is receiving a few measly hits? Then what’s the point of submitting to them anyway?
Blog Catalog stats their different because of their community and the Bloggers that take part, yet their screwing them over so that they can benefit by increasing their backlinks and Google Pagerank?
Gosh, that shoots the crap out of their statement. I Quote from Blog Catalogs owner Tony - “Blog Catalog truly cares for their members.”
If they cared they wouldn’t be using such methods.
Let the blogosphere decide

Hello Matt Cutts,
Thank you for the clarity, I stated this above.

Same goes for Yahoo, their webbmaster guidelines state they honor the nofollow tag as well, yet they include many links in their index(s) but it doesnt mean they are given any weight either..
Quote: Andy Beard,
The guys at Blogcatalog are trying to do things in a Google friendly way, and be upfront about things.
If they are trying to do things the proper way then why implement the nofollow tag at all on the Recent Post of users blogs?
Or why the use of onclick on every users blog, there are other methods to tracking links that would be more seo friendly as I stated in this post...

Excellent example Sebastian ;-)
Now Andy Beard, why are you so concerned about MyBlogLog, this topic is about Blog Catalog. I would suggest you start a review of MyBlogLog as that’s another discussion all together.
You mentioned to users over at Blog Catalog to use the link: to prove that the links listed at Blog Catalog carried Google Juice.
However, thanks to Matt Cutts he has stated they do not and your method is incorrect. He also stated any SEO that believes in this method would be falsely misleading.
I would suggest Andy Beard; you take this up with Blog Catalog to fix their omission of error. I also see most of the information posted on your blog or from my sources that you do not credit or provide a link back to, yet you also start another sphinn stating the onclick function does pass Google Juice which is greatly misleading users.
The blog post over at Blog Catalog is truly a measure of many users links not found in the search engines at all. Many Blog users stated they go to page 24 or 50 with no search results found.
You also remark this is your research, yet I don’t see posting a link to Blog Catalog showing that many users of their directory are unable to find any link back.
If you’re going to use the resources we outlined and remark about their information or how they do not compare, provide a link to the post on blog catalog where others can see members stating they can not find their links. Or where Matt Cutts has stated in this very thread that the link” attribute doesn’t mean they carry Google Juice.
