Hi I see a wordpress.com blog and on the latest post there is a redirect for the external links via "http://go2.wordpress.com/" redirect. This redirect is obfuscated - on hovering the link it displays a "http://google.com/url?..." redirect instead.

What is this and why is it suddenly on this post and not others?

Also, would it harm SEO for the affected outgoing links?

It is for a skimlinks ad service they are running. Users who upgrade are redirected immediately. Check the following discussion. You will also find it in the source

<script type="text/javascript">
var skimlinks_pub_id = "725X1342";
var skimlinks_sitename = 'openunionism.wordpress.com';
var skimlinks_domain = "go2.wordpress.com";
skimlinks();
</script>

Check skimlinks fore more info.
