    Hi!

    Can U Guys Please Tell Me?

    If I'm Using PHP Redirection.

    Like:

    <?php
    header("Location: http://www.website.com/download/anysoftware.exe");
    ?>

    Will It Count As a External Link Of My Site?

    But! I Don't Want Any External Link.

    So What Will This Code Do +ve Or -ve?

    He's referring to outbound link, not external. Outbound links are not backlinks unless you're looking at it from the other websites point of view (which would be an odd way of looking at it).


    OP: That is an outbound link because you're directing to another website. Use rel="nofollow" tags.

    A header redirect like that won't count as a link.

    But My Friend I'm Not Using Anchor Text.

    I think it will be count like redirect. And maybe you will have problems with google.
