The number of links to your website is one of the major factors in search engine algorithms affecting your website's performance in search results. However, links can have HTML attribute of 'Follow' or 'Nofollow', which renders any link valuable or a 'one way street'.
Links with Follow attribute are, well, followed by search engine robots (spiders) and pass the all important vote on your website. On the other hand the 'Nofollow' attribute will stop robots 'clicking' the link and counting it as an incoming link to your site.
Links on Courses, etc. will have either 'follow' or 'nofollow' applied on outbound links depending on your subscription. As you may realize by now you can generate a large number of links to your website by publishing your courses on Courses, etc.
