Rotating Banner Ad Value?
-
Sorry if this has been discussed couldn't find a post about it.
Was wondering the potential link value of a rotating banner link.
Situation 1: A site that wants $50/CPM. Those impressions are random throughout the month and can be on any page within the site.
Situation 2: A sidebar banner ad that rotates with other banners.
Will these links be recognized and is there link value?
Thanks

Most likely it will not provide value, but to be sure, check the "source code" of the site and see how the code is being generated on other banners in the same position.
Look for the actual URL of those sites in a static reference. But overall, my feeling is that banner ads won't really help. You mainly will want text ads with your "anchor text" pointing back to your specified URL from a quality, content-related site.

Sorry about that. I typed the response out too quick! To summarize: Yes, you do want followed links. They will help you rank higher in the search engines.
However, according to Google, paid ads should never be made to be followed links. Google says that paid ads should be designated as such, by giving them a rel="nofollow" attribute.
The link I posted in the previous response as well as the one below explain it pretty well.

Sorry your wording confused me a bit.... So you dont want followed links? I thought that is what you did want? Or is it just because it is a paid ad that makes a difference.

It would really depend on how the links were implemented on the site serving them.
However, you may want to consider this: Google doesn't like when an ad link that does not carry the rel="nofollow" attribute, which would prevent the link from helping to improve your search engine rank. So, proceed at your own risk with ads that have "followed" links.

Adding Video to Landing Pages-Beneficial SEO Effect in Terms of Links & Visitor Engagement?
I run a New York City commercial real estate in New York City. Lately, I have started to produce 30-second videos about property listings and neighborhoods. I have noticed that the engagement for these videos on Facebook is much higher that for text posts. Should adding these videos on our website (hosting them on Youtube) result in increased visitor engagement? Could there be a positive SEO effect such as more links and higher quality links? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks, Alan

Ranking 1st for a keyword - but when 's' is added to the end we are ranking on the second page
Hi everyone - hope you are well. I can't get my head around why we are ranking 1st for a specific keyword, but then when 's' is added to the end of the keyword - we are ranking on the second page. What could be the cause of this? I thought that Google would class both of the keywords the same, in this case, let's say the keyword was 'button'. We would be ranking 1st for 'button', but 'buttons' we are ranking on the second page. Any ideas? - I appreciate every comment.

Keyworded loaded subdirectory possibly diluting the page value?
Hey everyone, I have an ecommerce website which sells "Widgets" and is called "Widget.com" (exact match singular domain name) I have architect-ed my pages to be like this: www.widget.com/widgets/product-page.html I loaded in the plural (or in some instances a keyword variant) as a subdirectory before my products, and some of my category pages. Does this approach make sense anymore, or am I devaluing my pages ultimately by removing them from the root? thanks a lot!

How important is adding Google Analytics for SEO?
Ann Smarty mentions in a post (http://www.searchenginejournal.com/200-parameters-in-google-algorithm/15457/) the addition of Google Analytics adds SEO value. We have a different analytics tool, do you think it is necessary to add Analytics? How important do you think it is?

Could adding canonical tags to large Ecommerce site ever hurt rankings? Temporarily?
We have a really large site we're working on who's product pages rank well for the most part but also have multiple products listed in different categories with different URL's. I'm assuming there's no downside to adding canonical tags to these right? Its peak season so I don't want to do anything that could, even temporarily, bring down their rankings. Thanks!
