Ive been looking into backlinks for little over a week now and i have a question. When i put a product on my site (below) and i take the product image from thier site and insert it into mine (Copy Link Location) does this class as a backlink from that site? I have "Googled" it but cant seem to find anythin on it.
Well,according to my experience,it'll not be regarded as backlinks.And if they use hot link protection,the image there will not be accessible.
The images are accessible as im using them to promote thier products but i just wanted to know about the image linking. Thanx
Nope, except if there would be a <a> tag HTML: next to the image tag there shouldn't be problem. As long as it's just a normal <img>, there is no backlink counted
Why would the backlink be counted if it's not from an actual link? Doesn't make sense, but I suppose I can see where you're coming from.
For example i use an image from Play.com <img src="image@play.com"/> would the Play.com bit not be claased as a link to my site? as its incoming to my site? If i put the <a> tag in it will it be counted then? Hope this helps.
