Hi,

our company's website is hosted on a Domino server and we use a Lotus Notes agent to count clickthroughs on some outbound links. These links look like:
[mysite.com...]
The agent openURL just records the clickthrough into a Notes file and opens the target URL in a new browser window. The adress line in the new window only shows [theirsite.com....]

These links used to be recorded by Google (at least we always found some of them when looking for link to the targeted website). Several months ago (I'm not 100% sure, but it could have been around end of May 2003) this seems to have changed.

So my questions are: Did someone notice this too? And is there another way of redirecting clickthroughs or counting them that doesn't interfere with Google's listing of links?

Thanks in advance
