Are the links into <!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) - Being ignored?

Hello.


I know a forum where they are ussing the code:
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->

Into the the signature of the ussers.

I suppose all this content will be ussed and not followed by Google bot, but as far I understand it will be ignored by google media bot, then I`m not sure if will be readed by google spider.

For example, this is the signaure on the site:

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --><a href="http://www.mercadeo-web.com/posicionamiento-optimizacion-sitios-web.html" target="_blank">SEO Costa Rica</a><br>
<a href="http://www.gallerywebs.com/espanol/diseno-de-sitios-web.html" target="_blank">Diseño web en Costa Rica</a><!-- google_ad_section_end -->



Will be that readed by google bot or not?


In other words, since the SEO point of view: All the links into this tag will have any value?

thanks.
