Will a bot follow this...

Forgive my ignorance

Hi all

Now this could really be a daft question, but I really need to know the answer, so here goes...

I have just had set up a forwarding script in the aim of being able to crosslink between domains without risking a crosslinking penalty.

It's a PHP thingy that looks like this:

<?
header("Location: http://" . $dest);
exit;
?>

And the referral link is of the form:

<a href="http://www.domain.com/fwd.php?dest="www.destination.com">

If a search engine bot can follow this I guess I haven't found my solution. Does anyone know if a bot could?

Thanks

Cy

Disallow the forwarding script page in your robots.txt.

Now why didn't I think of that? ;)
