Are Links from Adbrite real links?

    I wonder if you buy a link from Adbrite, are they real links in the sense that they will give you link popularity. Or are they just text ads which go through their server?

    I think they are text ads since the webmaster is not the one that places them on the page. Have a look through their advertisers sites and check the code. If it's not a simple <a> tag link, it probably won't count.

    If I remember well, they are just text ads and don't count as backlinks.

    If I remember correctly, their javascript links like what Adsense uses and don't count.

    Will the links that we get from banners count in the DP Co-Op? Or is it the same scenario as with adbrite?

    AdBrite code looks like this and I do not think it counts as a real link

    <!-- Begin: AdBrite -->
    <style type="text/css">
    .adHeadline {font: bold 10pt Arial; text-decoration: underline; color: #FFFFFF}
    .adText {font: normal 10pt Arial; text-decoration: none; color: white;}
    </style>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://3.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=XXXXXXX&amp;br=1&amp;dk=XXXXXXXXXXXXX"></script>
    <p />
    <div><a class="adHeadline" target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=XXXXXX&amp;afsid=1">Your Ad Here</a></div>
    <!-- End: AdBrite -->
