Hi guys

I have been trying some affilate programs out on my sites and have found some nice flash banners, but am just wondering if I add them to my pages am I going to be passing backlinks from the pages I add them to ?

Ive had a look at teh code and its different to normal links obviously so am not sure the commands in teh code are obviously followed by the url which i removed

link_url=http://www.

Command in the code and a

embed src="http://


Anyone any ideas ?

My personal opinion is to expand your website and then promote it. If you have great content - people will naturally link to ya.

Also - I don't think they count as backlinks - but I'm not 100% sure...

Only Google knows for sure.

But I've tested "links" in various formats and I've only ever found that href="url" gets the target pages crawled.

Ahh ic that makes sense, apparently it does crawl them according to some people, but there are a few different types of link embedded into the flash.

SEs can read some types of text within the structure of the Flash file, and in a similar approach to URLs in XML sitemaps may use them for DISCOVERY of pages. They also find URLs in js files and script elements

However, like URLs in XML sitemaps they DO NOT "count" as backlinks.

That does make sense Chris, or the spammers would be using these kind of urls to spam websites and gain backlinks wouldnt they ?

however they either use the BB code or like u say Href code.

i am not familiar with affliates thats all, just didnt wanna add code willy nilly to my sites without knowin how it would affect my sites.

The idea that affiliate links are somehow "bad" for your pages is a long standing myth from people who never understood Search and probably stiil don't.

They "decided" that it must be the affiliate links that Google "didn't like" but completely failed to notice that other pages, complete with the same product links from the same supplier did much better.
The difference being that the smarter affiliates WROTE THEIR OWN TEXT while the lazy bast**ds simply copied the suppliers text verbatim, that fifty thousand other affiliates were using. But of course it was the links that was the problem not their laziness in not writing their own description.

And of course because these people start whinging about "how Google hates affiliate links" all the other clueless muppets spread this "fact" far and wide.

I am not 100% sure about this, however, if text or an image on a page has the relevant link code attached to it then search engines must be able to follow it and thus link juice must be passed on in some form.
