Looks like you're selling banners on the right hand side and not nofollowing them, be careful as that's a Google crime and you may find yourself on the receiving end of a Google penalty.

I've gotten the impression (pun!) that nofollow isn't strictly necessary for banners. In this video[1], Matt Cutts says many banners have nofollow to prevent bots from messing with tracking numbers, but I didn't get the feeling he is saying it is not allowed.

Anyone else have wisdom on this?

Hi Steve, that advice was for banners that used typical ad networks, and Google handles the vast majority of typical ad network banners correctly.

It looks like your links are direct hyperlinks, so I would recommend using nofollow on the right-hand links or ads.

Well it doesn't get any clearer than that so I'll be updating accordingly. Thanks for the advice on it.
