    Hi guys

    I came across the site Kissmoose.com which says that they are offering links on their homepage starting at $20. I see that this page has a PR6.

    My question is :

    1) Can Google Pagerank pass through such a graphical image?

    2) I know that Pr can pass through normal pictures, but this image on the site seems different.

    3) If Pr cannot pass through these images, then is $20 expensive instead of cheap?

    4) I have a pixel ad already on Bradfallon.com--but I don't know whether Pr is passing --will it be the same for this site? The sites do not seem the same, but it is a siilar concept.

    Thanks
    Craig

    I don't think search engines can follow image map links (this may be wrong but they can't/won't follow them on my site).

    Yes, and even if google allowed PR to pass, PR is divided between each outgoing link - so it would be entirely worthless for passing PR because of dilution.

    Absolutely not. This isn't even a matter of opinion - you do not get any PR benefit from these scams.
