Very interesting idea. Another idea that I've had is having a mock affiliate program on your site, just for the purpose of passing off paid links as affiliate links. Such as http://www.yourdomain.com/?affid=10956 and redirecting that to main page passing link juice and it looks like an affiliate link. Problem is the SE's don't seem to like aff programs so much either.

http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum12/3116.htm … I’m lost for words? Those link exchangers use a traffic counter so see how many clicks a link gets. But the link has a href and is valid and passes PR but they only need some statistics to see how many users click it.

I might not be getting it right but are those people there saying it won’t pass link juice? If so … OMFG!

Tyler, thanks a lot for the kind words – looking forward to chatting more.

Miguel, I’m glad you like it. Look forward to seeing if any of your “Internet friends” can automate this, and if so, what the end product will look like (ergo, will it leave footprints that can make detection easy). I’d emphasize the need for variety in shape, colour, ad text, anchor text etc.

Sasha, thanks for getting over the speechlessness to leave the comment .

Malte – whew, I’m not the only one on that page! Now if only Matt would join .

As to getting the boot from AdSense, that’s a great point. Hadn’t considered that. On the flip side, if you’re also putting up blocks that can earn them dough, I don’t see what there is to complain about. It’s not like text link ads promote irrelevant results in the SERPs [because that wouldn't convert]…

Point (i) has always been the idea behind the PageRank algorithm! The problem I see is that this might get you kicked out of adsense.
