I have a site in the health/sleep niche, that im working on at the moment. It was doing great, but is currently doing the g dance. In any event, with what happened in the rankings, ive been building links (edu profiles, directory submits, blog guests posts, web 2.0s etc.)
I came across an old link partner of mine who is offering a $5 per year text link on his site. This site is nowhere near my niche, its a torrent directory (not like iso hunt or pirate bay, this is just a list of real torrent sites).
According to the owner it gets 9500 uniques per day, but what Im really interested in its link juice value. The site is a verified PR 4, five years old, listed in Dmoz.
The kicker is that the links on the homepage rotate on every page refresh. Not random, they just start 1-6, then refresh 2-7, refresh 3-8 and so on. Ive refreshed the page a few times and it doesent look like their is that many links in total.
So my very long winded question is. First should I buy this link? Does the rotation reduce its link juice giving ability? If I buy it, should it be for traffic purposes only? The fact that its a different niche?
EDIT: I realize its only $5, so I guess what I am trying to avoid is something that would do more harm than good to my site.
I figured one of the se0 experts on here could help me out.
