<a href = "javascript:location.href='http://www.url.com';" target="_new">Text here</a>
    Code (markup):

    I don't think so. Actually I was thinking if what would be the effect of using javascript in linking. Can anyone here explain the advantages or disadvantages of using javascript in a link?

    The reason why I want to use javascript to link is to limit outbound link from my site, which according to SEO experts engines does not consider javasript link as live link... (not sure if I am correct).

    I plan to use this javascript linking for my affiliate links.
