If you use a flash banner to advertise, will you get a inbound link from it? Any help would be appreciated

Nope! SEs can read/see embedded links inside flash, but not follow them. In addition to this, the banner-object must be detectable by the bots. Using something like SWFObect you could have a normal textversion (with link and all) of your add, serving no-flash-browsers and bots.

Hey, Thanks for the reply. However, I didn't really understand what has to be done. Can you please elaborate and perhaps give an example? thanks a lot.

Well, what I tried to say was that in the case you have control of the publishing of the ad, and it is not published through some javascript/iframe system, then you can use something like SWFObject to insert the banner on the page. The nice thing with this method, is that you can have a text-based replacement version of the ad in a <div> that SEs actually can see/index. So if you put your link in this text you will get an inbound link, because the SEs never see the flash-ad. Visitors who has the Flash Player, will get the flash-banner-ad instead of the text-ad. Look up SWFObject to get more info on the actual implementation.
