But, this is against Google's Webmaster Guidelines. Isn't it ? Hi Greg,
It does seem logical that you need to link to WidgetBucks, if the user doesn’t have Flash player. But, this is against Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. Isn’t it ?

The code change today implements the Akamai content delivery network (CDN) for the delivery of all static content (i.e. .swf, .js, and .css). This allows these elements to be loaded from Akamai's massive "edge" presence rather than our Seattle-based colocation facilities - this offloads traffic from our web servers and greatly increases load speed for the ad content. You will notice that the old path (www.widgetbucks.com) was updated to reflect the new path (images.widgetbucks.com) which is a CNAME mapping to the Akamai network. The removal of the back-link was simply based on publisher feedback about not being allowed to modify the HTML to place a "no-follow" for SEO purposes - rather than grant permission to modify the HTML we provide, we simply removed the backlink. That back-link, by the way, was never maliciously placed there - if you do not have the Flash Player installed, then we wanted to show a link to WidgetBucks, plain and simple. Hope this clarifies.
