What about javascript links?

[mrdance]

I wonder if Google or other searchengines care about javascript links like:

window.open('wwWebmasterWorldebsite.com');

What do the spiders look for <A HREF> tags or HTTP or what.

Yep. HREF attributes are considered to be links, and Javascript link references are not.

It makes sense because who knows WHAT those wacky Javascript developers are putting in their scripts that might SEEM like a link, or use Javascript link-type syntax but are NOT links.

If it ain't an HREF, it ain't a link according to spiders.
