SEO in links with tracking ID...

I need to track votes into mysite.

At the moment, a user goes to http:// site.com/index.php?ID=222

now, i think google has a problem with this.
I need to track links into my site (HTTP_REFERER isnt applicable) and still make sure i get maximum weight from the links on their sites....

Whats the best way to do this?

 

If you do what forums do and require a login for members, then don't assign the ID until someone logs in, Googlebot (as a "Guest") won't see the ID#.

 

unfortunately, it cant be like that....

Its liek a voting system and the voting buttons are on other peoples site.

Ordinary users need to vote without signing in etc...

 

Anybody, no, dust?

I guess www. site.com/ID?99 is better than www. site.com/in.php?ID=99 right?

 

Why not link to site.com/track.php?ID=99 , have the track.php script install a cookie or log a hit in the database or whatever to track the referrer.

After you have done this you can use a php redirect at the end of track.php to send the user to site.com

 

Thats what it does now... but is there not a better SEO way to do it to get full potential of the link...

 

My understanding is that a redirect is fine as far as SE's are concerned.

 

using header("locationBLHA:"); ?

 

I use:

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); 
header("Location: http://www.site.co.uk/"); 
exit();

PHP:

 

so would that work the other weay for out going links?
