Googlebot and script made links

[Gonzalez]

Hi everybody.

I'm planning a counter site.

After the users sign in, I'll provide the code they have to
put on their pages, pointed to a script on my server. I'm thinking on something like

<script src=http://www.mydomain.com/count.php?user=XXXXXXXX>.

The script would return the count and a reciprocal, displayed on the page that invokes it. I know this works because I use a similar scheme on my other site to rotate adds.

Now my problem is that Google seems to ignore these links made by scripts. It even seems

that peolple around love this for cloacking but I want the oposite.

You guys seem to know a lot about this, so what do you think?

Are there Google friendly alternatives?

Thanks in advance for your time.

argh. give them a more full reference?
<a href="yoursite.com?whateverargs"><img src blah balh... you get the picture?

ie, why make the links using <script?

if they use a serverside scripting language, such as php, they will be able to <?include("yourdomain.com?whatever");?> or similar?

sorry, that's all i can think of.

Hi.

Thanks for your answer. The problem is that I'm planning my service for everybody and most people canīt use php, cgi,etc. on their sites. Putting the <a href...> on the client side makes possible to remove the reciprocal :(

how about reversing it?

let them use the <A href..> code, with the risk they remove the reciprical, but... when you get the request, use php or something to grab the referrer page and grep it for your reciprical link code. if it doesn't come back as present, discontinue/warn the account.

i guess checking every 10 per site or something could be possible? after all, you are already counting the usages :D
