Example of our link code:
[oursite.com...]
When I check our linkbacks in google I get around 90 results. When reviewing the results most all them are not using our link code. They just have a direct link to [oursite.com...]
When I check our linkbacks at altavista I get around 14,000 results which is much closer to accurate. When reviewing the first 50 or so results they are all using our linking code.
Does google not recognize our link code on these other sites as a link to [oursite.com...] like altavista does?
Would appreciate any ideas on why this is and if there is any methods I can use to get google to recognize them as links to our site without having to ask all of them to change the link for us.
We are considering the mod_rewrite method to change our links on our site to static urls as well. I've read some on it in the perl board. I was wondering if there is any major server performance problems with using this method with traffic between 50,000 and 75,000 visitors per day?
This is a great forum and have learned much already.
Thanks,

As you have already guessed Google doesn't like affiliate links. mod_rewrite won’t help because it will just get you a lot of duplicate pages, which Google will throw out.

The code we use is for inbound links. It currently returns a server response of 302 which is why we first thought google wasn't showing these as linkbacks to our site.
link:oursite.com
We are currently researching the adjustments that need to be made so when a visit comes in from another site using this code it will respond with a 301.
This code when used logs some account information to track visitors from other sites. It then redirects to our index page.
Are you saying that since we use a linking program for our link exchanges with other sites that google won't count them?
Thanks,
Jim
