Redirect page for outboud links

How to make it pass/not pass PR and linkpop

[aleksl]

I am sure this has been discussed before, but I am struggling to put pieces together.

One of my sites has a redirect page that all outbound links go through - for statistical purposes. I am sure by now SEs think that our redirect page has the highest PR, which is not ideal... How would I make the following scenarios work?

1) PR and Link Popularity is passed to the linked site
2) Only PR is passed
3) Only Link Popularity is passed
4) Nothing is passed - this can be accomplished by disallowing redirect page in robots.txt, but won't that eliminate possibilities 1, 2 and 3?

Thanks

i'm very confused by your question aleksl, what is the difference between link popularity and pr as you are meaning it?

>>I am sure by now SEs think that our redirect page has the highest PR

by which i think you mean, you have the most internal links pointing to it, however i think you could be wrong, assuming that the links point to the redirect page in a manner such as

redirect?linkID=1
redirect?linkID=2
redirect?linkID=3
redirect?linkID=4

etc etc

if this is the case each of the above links will be seen as a different page by a search engine, not as the same page.

topr, that is exactly the case, links are pointing to redirect page as you mentioned:

redirect?linkid=1
redirect?linkid=2
redirect?linkid=3
etc.

If we are linking to a example.com site and you do link:example.com in google you'll see backlinks. If links go through redirect page, none of them seem to show up as backlinks for example.com

Also, if our site links through redirect page to example.com, will example.com receive a PR boost from it? also doesn't seem to happen.
