PHP blocking of googlebot?

php block googlebot

[AhmedF]

I have a slight problem.

I have a link directory, in which each out link is: out.php?id=x

In the actual script, I just do a header(Location: xxx) redirection.

My question is how can I do it so that google does not follow such links and thus fixing up PR leakage?

Wouldn't <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOFOLLOW"> on the directory page work? I believe this would tell the bots not to follow the links off the page. Or are you looking for something that allows some of the links off the page to be followed (like those within your website) and not others (like those that leave your website).

Yes.

I have direct text links to both on and offsite. I just dont want the out.php?id=x links to be followed.
