If someone buys a text link from my website I add the nofollow tag so you know it's a paid link. Should I do the same for banner images also? Damian, Blogosphere

  • lol fynny

  • What if it's a flash banner? How can I add a nofollow parameter? Thanks in advance

  • This is very useful for those who would like to advertise using the web. This gave me an idea on how to post ads appropriately.

  • @WebPreviews Yeah, but you're not supposed to be "helping" your paying customer by passing PageRank in their ads.

  • Wouldn't adding a "no follow" effect the search engine optimization for your paying customer?

  • @andradewa19 I'd just recommend buying your own [paid] domain, even if it's a .info :)

  • Matt, sorry if this is irrelevant.

    today all subdomains under CO.CC kicked from Search results? why?

    what should we do now?

  • cool so image links do pass pagerank still :)
