Text vs Logo Testimonial

[WCB]

Lets settle this once and for all

Overall, text (content) backlinks are always better

If you need to ask, then you've got a LOT to learn

Trying to learn no need to be condescending

Best to have a mix of both

A mix of all sort of links is good - as long as it's not in a bunch, all the same style/way and at the same time.

They're different.

A logo link might get more clickthrough if the logo / image is enticing or relevant, and if the link has sufficient alt and title tags you may get some SEO benefits too.

A text link is easier to control, obvious, and not blocked by image blockers / ad blockers. It's pretty much the standard link.

Here's a thought, as your a new-member and clearly a noob, try saying that from the get go. You'd get a far better reception from me, than posting what you did... Besides, "testimonials" from unknowns are BS.

MLM'ers (multi level marketing) would use these in attempts to make their products/services seem legit. Adding them to a site these days, generally lowers your credibility, especially in this gig.

Edit: My advice, don't go there...
Instead, invest your time in writing compelling, interesting and relevant content. That will get/gain you far more cred, than "testimonials" could ever hope to do.

Hmm I guess he talks about link from testimonial sites of affiliate programs like genesisaffiliates.com/partners-3/
I try to avoid those link farms as good as I can!

Try to appear as organic as possible. A mix of links and anchors is always good. Also, big G is getting good at reading images, so images/logos are also valuable.
