URGENT: I need to know - do rotating banners affect my PR?

    OK,

    Basically - I've been building links with related sites and we just got offered a link sitewide on a pretty big site / if we return the favour...

    BUT

    ...our banner on their site is part of a rotating script so every 30 seconds my banner disappears and a new one shows... therefore it's not rotating / random upon refresh of page - it literally changes while staying on a page.

    Does this count to our PR and backlinks? - OR does having our banner / link as part of a rotating script void the backlink?

    Need to know! Thank you

    A rotating script? If it's written in javascript, the spiders don't crawl it, so it shouldn't matter. Besides, I don't think it would matter much anyway. I have random internal links (products) display on the front page and I think it helps pass juice internally. It does not use javascript.

    Would you consider changing these random links (products) according to the search term that was used to get to your site?
    I mean, if it's <whatever triathlon junkie uses #1) then you show them that exact products, but if they came looking for #2, show them the #2 product.

    I did a search for do rotating banners offer backlinks. There are some crazy results for it. Everything from directories and script sites. But I hit on #7 about Shomoney and banners. It talks about an contest and its effectivenes with banners


    I would think you would be able to get a backlink if it is in javascript as well. As far as it getting a backlink for PR I am not sure. I would think it would if the banner was written to the effect of being seen as a regular text link.
