    Hi All,

    Maybe i'm missing something on this one, but i came across a website which shows external links on the actual page, but if one looks at the HTML write up the webmaster hasn't created any links in the write-up.

    Does any know how this is done?

    The link to the page is http://bit.ly/b6d0Lq

    I've never seen that before. I'll have to research to see if i can use it in my site.

    Do you know if googlebot would be able to follow this kind of link?

    it's javascript. googlebot can't index javascript and follow that link.
    So, not SEO Friendly.
