Ladies and Gentlemen, We’ve Got Legal Juice

By King Douche | April 19, 2012

Ladies and Gentlemen, Weve Got Legal JuiceThis week, Matt Cutts posted a 12 second video answering the question “Do Images pass PageRank?” This 12 second video simply responds, ‘yes.’

Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got legal, paid juice passing. This means that there is a white-hat way to flow juice while paying for it. So, yeah, it’s not a ‘paid link’ but it is ‘paid juice’ and since juice means domain authority, I think we’ve caught a break.

So, let’s take this to the extreme then. What if I had a huge-ass budget and I decided I wanted banner ads placed on hundreds, even thousands of sites. In theory you could jack up your site to a PR 7 or even a PR8. PR6 should come relatively easy with even a modest budget and now, it seems, you can get a PR6+ site by coughing up recurring monthly dough. But, holy fuck, talk about recurring monthly marketing budget nightmare. You’ll be in bed *forever* with hundreds of sites, paying them monthly, yearly, etc. You’ll need to ask yourself, “Is it worth it?”

So what ARE the advantages of having a PR6+ site? Well, first you’ll pass authority to each sub-page. Okay, so what does that do? What effect does domain authority have on SERPS?  According to Rand @ SEOMoz:  None whatsoever.   However, if you’re looking to monetize your site, you’ll only have 2 metrics in order to classify how much you can charge:  PageViews, or PageRank.  That’s it.  You either have 1, or the other, or both, but never neither.

FUCK IT, CREATE A BANNER AD MARKETPLACE
So, if it’s legal, let’s take it to the fucking extreme. Form a marketplace like TLA and sell only Banner Ad placements with followed images. TLA’s infographic marketplace won’t work since they only require an infographic be placed for 30 days. You need a way to place that shit long-term in the same spot. Any one out there know of a marketplace that sells banner ad placements? I say take that shit to the max. If it got the blessing from Cutts then I say that could be one of the last, paid ways to get more PR juice to your site. I don’t care what anyone says, I want my site to have the highest PageRank possible. And if there is now a paid way to accomplish that then I say go to Level 11 on that shit.

I’d like to pose this question to the visitors: “What are the advantages of having a high PageRanked domain?”   Since we can apparently pay to get one now, how would we leverage it?   Now is a great time to watch Fishkin’s video on PageRank.  I’m going to get crackin on finding some way to pass seemingly worthless link juice to my sites, legally.

    I kind of like the sound of this, but doesn’t big G frown on sites that have followed ads? (yours are nofollowed ;) That might mean site owners are a bit loath to let you have the followed image, but I’m sure loads won’t have a scooby doo (clue) about follow/nofollow so you’d get a few. I don’t know of any networks that do it, but I bet the direct approach would work if you had enough cash. High pagerank = good times in my opinion

    Simple – Visit sites that have PR and quality posts in your niche, ask them to add an in post image that relates, with a clickable, follow link to your site ;) I haven’t done that yet, but if what you say is true?!

    Erm, google also checks images for follow or no follow links and they treat them exactly as text links.

    Yes, link value flows to your site through an image link but this doesn’t mean that it won’t get penalized.
    My 2 cents

    Since when is selling links “illegal”?

    king douche you should try traffic exchaNGES and text ad exchanges. you can literally get millions of banner ads spanning networks of hundreds of websites. I alwasy put my sites in the networks with millions of banners, text links, and in surf rotations. gives your site great boost, and raises traffic rank, plus is steady feed of traffic other than search engine traffic.

    Gotta pass on that one.  The word ‘exchange’ whether referring to a link, or traffic, was a huge factor in Penguin.  I would never exchange anything again that wasn’t nofollowed or of course you can use JS.

     My thoughts exactly. What he is saying is that Google treats image links the same way as text links. He DIDNT say that PAID IMAGE LINKS was legal? As far as I can see that would still be a blatant penalty offense.  AFAIK anytime you place paid banner images on your site you should “nofollow” those links or you put your advertisers potentially in hot water.
