Question about links on my site and google

    I like to use ajax in my site, but if a link is purely ajax based I know it will make google unable to follow the link. I guess the sitemap will solve this problem to a degree, but I have a specific question about links like this:

    <a href="normalpage.aspx" onclick="ajaxMethod();return false;">some text</a>

    If the user has javascript turned on the onclick takes over and the ajax does it works for a smoother experience. IF they dont, the href kicks in for a full page nav. Does anyone know if google sees a link like this as a trick and black list the site for doing it? It could look like a trick, so I am worried about that aspect but havent seen anything on this topic?
