    Hello, i'm trying to advertise my page but i'm afraid i will make too many links to my page and will loose my ranking.
    That's why i advertise another page that is just a Javascript redirection to my main page.

    I don't want Google to know, that this first page has something to do with second page. (other than links to each other)

    and i'm using this part of code on the page im advertising

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    window.location.href="http://www.my-main-site.com";
    </script>

    The question is - will Google be able to know, that this is just a redirection to my-main-site.com ? I would not like it

    i'm not spamming, i'm just being cautious.
    i have some content (not much tho) on page i'm advertising

    I think you are running the risk of creating a problem by worrying about a problem thats not really there.

    Go ahead and advertise your main page but don't do anything sneaky as its stuff like this (creating different pages for google than for users) that gets you in trouble.

    If you are afraid of too many links, why not use the rel="nofollow" attribute? This is exactly what it is meant for according to Google...

    Using nofollow will prevent the advertising site from receiving a share of the pagerank so I guess you need to make it clear to advertisers first.
    And I agree to what mad4 said. There is no problem so don't worry.
