Will Google/Other Spiders Follow this link?

    If you look on the top left, there is an html table. I have like 4 links there. In a green box. If you hover over the box, you see the links. Can spiders follow those to my site, or will they be of no PR benefit to me?

    I'm not sure on links such as this. Thanks!

    PS-this page lost PR in the update. It was a 7 before. More evidence PR has been devalued?

    I have some image links on a website of mine (www.sprinttotal.com) wich links to my website about hosting. The image as Alt Text and the only backlink that appears to that website is a PR2 page, as my Sprint Total is PR4.

    Anyway, this could confirm even more my theory that the higher PR pages that link to you will not happear (as Sprint Total is giving the PR3 of the other website about hosting).

    I count 8 links in the green box on the top left.

    There is a green box on the top right with 4 links though.

    The links look fine to me in SlimBrowser. When I view the page in Lynx, I don't even see the links. What did you use to build those links?

    Usually, when links don't work in Lynx, they don't work for search engine spiders.

    If other web sites, on average, receive more new inbound links than your web site, your PR will drop. As the Internet continues to grow, you have to get more and more links to maintain your current PR.

    I'm sorry. Its the box on the right:

    header says: home & garden decor
    links are: shabby chic, garden gnomes, table top fountains, interior decor

    that is the link box I am talking about. I just made them html, they added those tracking urls to them. I am wondering if I should see if the tracking links should be removed or not.

    I don't see them with that lynx thing either. Guess I should get that tracking removed or that probably wont help will it? Interesting that they don't even show up in that view at all

    I don't think that you will get credit for those links either, but I do not know for certain.
