are links in external JS counted by google.

    I have a site with PR6 pages and another site with pr4.

    I want to link to about 3 - 4 pages from the pr6 pages to the other site. So I am planning to use external javascript located in pr4 site and called from pr6 site. The external js file will output the 3 to 4 hyperlinks.

    Will the hyperlinks be counted by the google robot and help the pr4's pagerank? If you know of any example site doing so, will appreciate if you point it to me...

    Thanks for reading..

    I have checked the logs on several of my sites that use external Javascript but Googlebot has never requested an external Javascript file or an external CSS file.

    If Google dosnt download the file it wont see the link.

    thanks for the reply. If my html page has a server side perl call and that perl program prints a few links ... will those links be counted by google ..

    I"m having the same issue

    I have a header bar that I want to show up on a number of sites and I want the code to stay in one place so it only has to be updated once.

    I'm using an external js file that writes all the links, however it looks like google is not following those links.

    I"m thinking that I could do the same thing with some inline PHP on each site... or is there a better way?

    an iframe would be the obvious choice, but the way google sees the iframe, the links will not 'count'.

    any ideas would be really appreciated
