Hi,

I managed to receive a fantastic backlink from a high authority site. However I noticed they accidentally added a space at the start of the link like href=“ https://example.com”.

Browsers seems to just trim it automatically without any problems but like my ai tool that monitors if I get any new backlinks missed it because of it.

Does anyone know if it matters at all or not for google? For the backlink to count and give all the juice?

I could of course reach out to them and ask them to fix it but you never know, maybe someone else looks at it and decide to remove the link instead.
