Tracking, Redirects and PageRank

[Graham]

If I use the following example:

<a href="redirect.asp?url=http://www.examplesite.com">Example Site</a>

This will then track clicks made to the url example and update the database.

Is this still considered a clean link and will it pass PageRank?

Thanks

It depends on if you implement it to use a 301 or not.

Hi leadegroot

Sorry, not too sure what you mean by the answer you have given.

I am pretty new to this, and found an article that looks very easy to implement, which uses the redirect. This writes the URL to the database if it is not present, and adds the clicks made using an Update statement if the URL is present.

I am just concerned about any implecations this may have.

Thanks
