Does Google Follow Links in Gmail
Well the jury is out. Craig Hordlow Mostly SEO blog had conducted a controlled experiment to see whether Google followed links inside your Gmail. You can check out his blog for the details of the experiment.
Unfortunately, it looks like Google does not index pages through Gmail. I guess I have nothing to bitch about here. If anyone has noticed something to the contrary from gmail please let me know.

I must disagree here.
I was creating a site for a client and we were in the final stages when the site appeared in the Google index. It was a brand new domain with no links whatsoever pointing to it. The only thing that I suspect is google mail since we were exchanging emails and I was using my gmail account.
