Non-spiderable links

    In order to reduce the so-called PR leaking, I'd like to change some of my links to the format h**p://www.mydomain.com/jump.cgi?1677

    I've seen this done in other sites and directories. But how do you do it/set it up?

    Thanks for your help!

    just curious but what do you think that will do

    you most likely just write a script which either get the urls from a DB or just pass the url in the url as a parameter

    like your links would go to newlink.phpw=somewhere.com

    then jsut code a redirect in the code of newlink.php

    something like, but youi would have to look it up becasue I am not sure

    <?php
    header('location:' . $w);
    ?>

    Use Owlcraft's via tool... thing works really well. We installed the script and set up the robot.txt file to block the spiders from visiting the links. We did it several months ago (to even some of our own less important pages such as contact page etc.), so I can attest that it really works, and those pages do not get crawled. PR does not pass.
