Sometimes there is no link at all, sometimes there is a link to a URL on the partner site with a 301 or 302 redirect, sometimes the link points directly to the original URL. The various methods are often related more to technical setup or tracking than any kind of SEO tactic by the syndication partners. So it is important to have a requirement for direct links to your original URLs put into the syndication contract.
