    Do you guys know if sig links on DNforum.com are nofollow?

    Here's an example code:
    <a [B]onclick="urchinTracker ('/outgoing/http_sxt_nl_');"[/B] href="http://sxt.nl/" target="_blank">http://*******.nl/</a>
    Code (markup):
    Does the onclick="urchinTracker ('/outgoing/http_sxt_nl_'); part mean something like rel="nofollow"?

    No, thats a tracking code for Google Analytics.

    That's why I rarely start threads, only If I'm looking to buy or sell something ;)

    Good thing that you can distinguish the Google analytics because of the urchinTracker. I wonder why they put a code like that?

    Is that a code in a programming language? correct me if I'm wrong....

    That tracks all the out going clicks to that signature link. Regardless what it was if it didn't contain the actual rel="nofollow" element it is dofollow then. The source code you view from your web browser is what the crawlers see to.

    Maybe I should have started a new thread, but it's on the same lines. What does the attribute 'external' mean in a link. I have seen that a lot in like blog comment links.

    Just a way of tagging links, meaning it's an external link.-
