Hi All I work with a engine remap company, who have a PR4 website - www.superchips.co.uk I have a banner on their site now offering £200 discount for driver training (see flash banner on middle right of the site). Although this is not a text link, will it still be a valuable inbound link....? Also it appears on each page of the site - will Google see this as several seperate pages linking in, or would it just see it as one, as (i think) it is part of the site template.. thanks Rob
Actually Google will treat it as a single link only and the link is very much effective from users perspective specially. Banner ads, image ads, flash ads are the part of rich media, specially used for real users to improve websites look and making it more attractive and appealing
Google will treat each indexed page as a link, but being linkes from one IP is lower than defferent links from different IPs.
Yes Google will treat each indexed page as a single inbound link, but it will not necessarily give less weight to a page just because it is in the same IP. Large websites that have a lot of relevant cross linking point to which page is relevant to which keyword(s) and Google takes this into consideration. So any website (i.e. pages in the same IP) cross linking provides link juice in terms of SEO, not just links from other websites.
