popunder scripts vs PR's

Sorry if this is a common question but I didnt see it in the Google FAQ or elsewhere.

Q. Will a rather long popunder script placed between the <head> tags of my web page hurt my Google rankings?

Thanks,

Augie

Do you mean a <script language="javascript"> tag???

If you do then no - google can't read Java! so it wont really know what your doing!

If it worries you why not just put it into an external js file?

That's what I did with the js on my website.

Hi agustus,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld

I'm with ann on this one. When in doubt, go with external js files. it makes for a much cleaner page, and it also dramatically reduces the risk of parsing errors. Why make a bot find its way through unnecessary code?
