Javascript link that transfers PR

The reverse...

Hi

Althoug a lot of messages in this forum are about how to avoid PR transfer via javascript links, I am actually looking for the reverse. It's a long story why I need this so I will not go into that.

Does anyone have a piece of javascript code to link to another page, and that Google can actually read?

Thanks!
DC

It seems that Googlebot follows complete urls wherever they are located provided they begin http://. However, it is unlikely that PR will be transferred except by recognised links.

Nevertheless, if you explain why you wish to do this, a solution may become apparent.

Have you considered using server-side includes?

Kaled.

jcoronella suggestion is good, and I would use it for not too many links. If you have loads it might look like to are spamming the noscript tag.

You might also consider using a regular old http:// link and then just using an onClick handler to do whatever you need to do in javascript.

You shouldn't have to worry about being flagged as 'spamming' the noscript tags as long as the links are the same as in the javascript.

I saw on a PR7 website that there was an internal forum link with the link text domain.com that went to an internal page within the forums...with no actual link to domain.com from anywhere, still this website was being counted as a back link. Interesting....right!?

Hi

Thank you all for the information. The reason why I need this is since the webhosting provider I use (will not disclose the name here for obvious reasons) automatically changes the URL to a javascript link. I am therefore trying to do the reverse so that it not automatically changs. I noticed that if I use a normal "http:// link" it will make it "site.pl?url=http://" etc. and this is exactly what I am trying to avoid. The hosting provider is really good at a lot of other things, so I would not like to swap providers.

After noticing this I tried to put a nofollow:... javascript link on the page as discussed in the how-to-not-loose-PR sections of this site. That link did not get changed by my provider (the AI must not be good enough to recognize it as a link)

Therefore I was looking for a javascript link that (unlike the nofollow one) will actually surely transfer PR to other pages.

Does anyone know of a simple javascript link to place in-page that will gurantee PR transfer? The reason I am so keen to change this link into a PR-transfer link is because the person that I am swapping links with will give me a good PR5 link back.

I am also a bit unclear on the <noscript> tag what it does exactly?

Also, have you guys (and girls :) ) found it hard to get high PR(7-9) links?

Cheers
Roel

I just gave an example above .. it's for you to believe if it works or not.

I did a test a few months back with Dream Weaver MX Menu script. This is after I noticed a site I visited occasionally that usually had NO PR, now had PR distributed around the site and backlinks recorded.

The standard DW script with location="HTTP://www.domain.com/page.htm" and location="page.htm" worked in my test and all test pages have PR.

I just wonder if they check to see if script has a trigger to activate it or you could stuff links in script tag.
