hi Guys, Some time I check on the link provided in article directory, and found the link is in such way: a href="http://example.com" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','printablecoupon']);" Is this kind of link consider a dofollow link? Does SE able to crawl it?
The link is"http://example.com", and it is dofollow. The javascript section is an event handler, nothing to do with crawling. It probably stores in a database the link that was clicked, possibly also opens a pop-up window offering a coupon or something similar. This is the kind of code linking that gives me horrible headaches when I localize websites - touch the code, and the whole site collapses if you're not careful. Don't touch it and the user in the new translated site gets a lot of advertising in a language that he does not understand. But then, that's exactly the reason why I'm not cheap...
