Undetectable links

    I have a clickable link from site A to site B.
    I don’t want Google to see this connection between sites.
    Is there any JScript ready-made solution to use?

    Are you sure Google doesn't detect this linkage?

    No. Google does not touch javascript at all.

    I'd use the onclick parameter in a spam tag wrapping the text you want the link on... something like:

    <span onclick="javascript:location.href='www.landingdomain.com';">My link</span>

    not sure how cross-browser this technique is.

    Google and the other major search engines honor the rel="nofollow" attribute. If you code <a href="some.html" rel="nofollow">somewhere</a>, it will be ignored by the search engines.

    Using javascript to write the link is a not good solution. Anyone not using javascript will never see your link.

    cheers,

    Bundy,

    What's the reason why you don't want the SEs to see the link?

    To avoid site A to be considered a link farm or both sites a web ring? If that's the case, I woudn't be so sure about the nofollow param, but don't have facts nor direct experience.

    Let us know how you go.
