I have a potential client who wants an answer to this question: If I place a link on a pr 8 page that rotates text links (his included), will page rank still be passed off to my site from the pr 8 page. Know I may a know a few things, but this one is kind of tuff for me and I do not want to give him a guess. Anyone know anything about this?
depends on what the spiders see when they are visiting the website; is the ration done in javascript?.. are ALL links visible to the spider.. or perhaps NONE? .. or just at a time by random? try checking the website with www.seo-browser.com
From what I know, the rotation is done in java script, but the links are static, in other words the links are not inside of the java script coding. Thanks for the replys so far, this guy is on the hook so I am trying to reel him in.
If the link continues changing position on the page, I would expect that to be a negative --- although I have no proof to this. If the link appears in a place on the page that is tagged as Sponsor Supported, that might not deliver the PageRank for that link. Google has expressed that they are targeting Paid Advertising Links as a negative. Also, it depends on if the site allows links to be followed either in the meta tag or the link properties. It would also depend on the life of the link. Is the webmaster offering the link by the month/year, or is it permanent? I would think that if the links survives a minimum of three months, and the link is not listed as a sponsor link, and the link does not have any nofollow tags on it, then all should be good.

That site seo-browser.com, (Sorry owner, nothing personal just trying to help you) seems to be an example of MFA site. How much of a content can you see on it? st12
The site must have a Search Engine bot-only version of the page in which all the links can be put, so that the Search Engine indexes all of the links IT
If the links are hard coded then yes it will pass PR, however only to the link that is displayed at the time Google caches the page. Other links in the rotation won't benefit.
What do you all think about rotating anchor text? Same link destination but rotating anchor text. This might be great for Sitewide links!!!!
It should be the same as the previous commenter had stated regarding the actual link, "...only to the link that is displayed at the time Google caches the page." The same will apply to your rotating anchor text. The only anchor text that will be applied to a link by Google will be the last set of anchor text, as shown in Google's last cache of the webpage.
