Due to an certain internal structure I have all the outgoing links in a directory style as follows:
[mysite.com...]
Will Google follow the link to: "theirsite.com"?
so that also "theirsite.com" is credited for getting a link from me?
Secondly will i have problem with disallowing all spiders to the cgi-bin in my robots.txt?
In reality, the crawlers only pick-up the and don't need the perl script for this, or am I also wrong in this?
Greetings,
looking for information concerning redirects via scripts (or agents in our case) I discovered this thread but after reading all of it I still don't know if it applies to our situation so pardon me if I open this can of worms again.
We are using a Lotus Notes agent to count clicks on some outbound links. These links look like:
[mysite.com...]
The agent just writes the date and time and URL of the click into a file and opens the target URL in a new browser window (but not in a frame like in nuhkweb's case). The adress line in this window only shows [theirsite.com....]
In our logfile these clicks are recorded with a 302 return code. If I understood the discussion so far correctly this should mean that the Page Rank stays on our site, even if we want the target URL to get the Page Rank. So is there a way to be able to count clickthroughs and still have Google consider the links for Page Rank purposes?
Thanks in advance
[mysite.com...]
show up in serps and it listed the url as:
[mysite.com...]
of course it went to the intended target, but it was shown in serps as belonging to the linking site (with PR).
Now the problem seems to be dupe content, both sites/pages get indexed independently.
Changing redirect to 301 solved that problem.
With tags, I had the same issue of an affiliate ranking higher for my site than I ranked. Looks like I need to put in the 301 redirect for the remaining tags otherwise have the problems of duplicate pages and PR going to meaningless url's.
