Non-direct outbound linking

using redirected jump pages

[fom2001uk]

I'd like a link from a site with some PR5 pages. But on inspection, the existing links out from this site look like this

[domain.com...]

When you click on the link, you're taken directly to the "www.mysite.com" in a new window. But the jumppage.asp is obviously a redirect.

My guess is that any links from pages like this wouldn't be passing on any linkpop value, PR, etc, so they would much less valuable than they appear to be.

Can anyone else confirm this?

My experience is that many of these links can lead to huge problems. Quite often, the redirect page used for click-tracking has a built in meta refresh, and this can lead to the url of the meta refresh page showing up instead of your page. See current discussion on this thread...

Until the engines clear this whole situation up, I won't submit my pages to any site that uses this kind of redirect.
