Is it better to have a link on blog sidebar or imbedded in a blog post

    Hi there -
    This is my first post. I am working on my link development and I am wondering if it's better page rank-wise to have a link on someone's blog sidebar (that is, it would be on every page) or just a single link imbedded within an individual post?

    Does Google weight these differently?

    Thanks!

    It would be great to have your link on both the places, but if you were to have your link on only one place I would make sure it is in the body rather than the sidelines.

    I would always prefer it to be embedded in a post - at appropriate location with some caution (obviously). Next, I will put different links in the sidebar. First option definitely helps when you want to sell the blog/ site - the new owner will almost always replace the sidebar content but hardly anyone touches the original posts...
