      Hey guys,

      I am currently buying link ad spots on sites (hardcoded, not using ad networks).

      I track the each link I buy and the sales they generate with query parameters such as : http://www.mydomain.com/?r=top_menu_nav_on_seomoz

      My question is : do these links still pass link juice?

      I have my canonical already set to http://www.mydomain.com

      Also, in Webmaster tools I have it set to ignore anything after /?r=

      The way I see it, a link is a link.  Naturally I would prefer to send directly to my root domain, however, these links cost a lot of money and I like to track my results.

      Does anyone have experience with SEO and working with query parameters?
