I want to link to a site, but don't want to pass on the PR. How can I make the links some sort of re-direct, via PHP, or CGI, etc? Is that a good method of linking without loosing pr?
Thanks!
If you want to hide them nevertheless, try the following:
write a small php/asp/whatever script (ie redirect.php) that redirects to the target. Exclude the script by robots.txt and Google or any other SE should never follow it.
Do a javascript link with an onclick= to send the user where you want them to go. Or cloak googlebot and don't geed it that link.
But you really should forget all that and go ahead and link to the other site. Your *page* does not lose any PR if you link out, and your *site* doesn't lose much. But you gain in many ways, other than PR, when you link out normally. PR hoarding really is a bad plan.
That'll definitely help me make a more informed decision.
Don't be a miser. If the site is worth a link then just do it. If there's a way to sensibly use one of your own keywords in that link then it may actually help you.

... you are throwing away your PR
Right, that's it. I'm scrapping all my php redirects.
