    What is the difference between buying adspace on a site like "tickmaster" vs. adding a link to "tickmaster". If you put a "nofollow" attribute on the adspace version, that would be ok. It's advertising. But put it on the latter scenario, then it will have no value.

    What we have seen is Google is dropping the PR on the seller site so that the page the link is on becomes a PR0. Therefore, there is no PR to transfer.
