best link format

[lordyB]

If I can get some reciprocal links to my site am I better using:
[url=new:http://www.example.com] text[/url]
or
<A HREF= http://www.example.com > text</A>

I read somewhere that google only followed HREF and SRC links, so am I better using the second option?

Hope someone can help me

Chris.

Hmm.. I guess you're saying the first link is a javascript link?

If so, you definitely want a straight HTML link. Google can actually follow urls from any text on the page, javascript or content, but whether it gets counted as a link is debatable. However, for all the other SE's you can never go wrong w/ a standard link.
