Links on a tube site
 

Is it better to have links on a tube site linked with text or banners, let's say you have over 1000 galleries and they all use similar text to sponsors. Google will find over 1000 same text links, would it be better to have banner there or picture links instead of text?

If you are hosting the galleries on your own domain it is better for you. They will be indexed as content on your website. Also the hit will get counted as a hit on your website thereby increasing your overall traffic. Thereby helping to increase your overall Alexa ranking if you can believe in the Alexa ranking system. Which may give you better overall rep when asking for trades, business &......
