hi, I have some form on my site, thats done by an affiliate and after putting in the information in the form the info is send to the affiliate. (its some search for hotels). It looks like this: <form method="post" id="search_start" action="http://www.xxxx.de/xxxx"> Will the "http://...." be followed ? It could be a problem, because as far as I heared and know google will follow this link. Thanks for any suggestions, Marc
I am not sure but I do not think Google has a problem with affiliate links. Affiliate links are typically cloaked in wrappers which Google handles. Q...
QiSoftware is correct, however you could simply add a robots.txt file with an exlcusion or halt on that particular link. - Or simply don't allow the form to be indexed. - You will have nothing to fear with regards to google following the link. But if you don't want the cloaked url to be part of any search results that relate to others, my suggestion would be to disallow the particular url or page with form on it.
