Link Juice?

[RyanR]

There is a website for the paper here and they sell online ads. These ads only come up sometimes (per impression). I was wondering if I would get any link juice from this code. Keep in mind it would show up most of the time when someone went on the website but not always.

Due to google's changes, you want traffice, not PR, from links now a days.

What's the paper's website? They might even be using nofollow, thus making it traffic only, no link 'juice'

Hi Brandon, sending you a PM....anyone else?

Brandon, my belief is that even nofollow carry some weight, otherwise they would not come up in the google.com/webmasters links section !!!!

I believe that Google follows the no follow pretty strictly and if used they do not give an PR benefit. Matt Cutts noted that the Webmaster Tools link tab will show all of the links that they are able to see but not all of them carry link juice. The other engines on the other hand may give you a boost from no-follow links, I mean Yahoo counts some of my AdWords pages are part of the site and they show up in my backlinks.

What do you mean "adwords pages" the pages that shows your advertisement through Adwords ? How can they see those, do they explore inside javascript ?

I use a thrid party tracking code for AdWords Ads and when users click on the they end up on a page that still contains that tracking code. I assume that Yahoo picks them up from scraper sites that grab the Ads and use them as "content". When I check site explorer I see a few indexed pages and internal backlinks that have my Google tracking code.
