SEO value of home page links

[RandyHT]

I was looking at the website peak7.org and there are links on the homepage that rotate at the bottom. Do such links have SEO value even though they are not static text links?  Are they still counted as links by Google if they are in that rotating carousel?

If google and the user can see the link, it is a link wich can pass value. No matter if it is rotating, spinning arround or doing other crazy stuff. This is not crazy stuff, just a carousel.

And SEO value? These are sponsered links, like the headline above says. Ok there is not a rel nofollow /sponsor, but I bet it is not much value they are passing (if any). But not because of the carousel, because they are sponsored.  Thats obvious for Search Engines.

Pro Tip: If you think about a link, start to think about the value for you, your users or the users seeing that link, not the value for SEO or how much that link could boost your ranking.
