Is Associated Text in Firefox the same as Alt Text / Anchor Text?

[wockawocka]

Hi guys,

I've paid advertising with some blogs and on one of the blogs the ad shows in Firefox as:

Associated Text: 'mysite.com - keyword keyword keyword'

Now ad I have this ad on every single page (1660 pages) of the blog does this run the risk of a penalty and should I have this as just mysite.com?

I was hit by Penguin before on a previous domain and want to clear this from happening again.

Thanks in advance!

Now ad I have this ad on every single page (1660 pages) of the blog...

I'd definitely make sure the links are nofollowed and then not worry too much about the text.

I presume you are talking about "Associated Text: something" that shows in Firefox when you right click on the image and select "View Image Info". The text shown in there is the alt text of the image.

I'd definitely make sure the links are nofollowed and then not worry too much about the text.

Yes, I would do as JD_Toims says.

Thanks guys, the one in question is no followed. I checked a couple of other ads I have and they don't have a no follow markup, but also there is no associated text.

In this instance as there is no keyword associated shall I leave those alone too?

I personally think it would be safer to nofollow these without alt text too as these are paid ads.
