Indexing Pages in Google: JavaScript Referrals

[woldie]

Hi all,

I'm working on a client site in a very competitve market, but I what did is optimised the site, plus all the usual stuff and then handed it over to the client.

Went the site went 'live' I notice something, when place your mouse over a link in the home page, on a keyword anchor text it looks a 'normal' link however when do click on the link, it places some refferal code after the .html extension. I looked at the code and it uses client side JavaScript to track the user.

An example of what I mean.

[widget.com...]

Now I would think that Google will be unable to index this page, yeah? I mentioned this to the client and said this would be a problem. Because at the moment I have created an additional 60 pages and only three pages are indexed by Google.

However I looked at the code, this is what it looks like, so obviously it has the '<a href=' bit so you would think it would index 'widgets.html' without the referral

<a href="widgets.html" onclick="return loadReferrerURL(this)">widgets</a>

So my question to you lot, would be, is there a work around this?

I did suggest some other tracking system, but they have something in house.

Any suggestions/ideas?

Thanks
