I've seen several sites where the link pages don't point directly to the site being linked, but they point to another page on the local site, which apparently uses a "meta refresh=0" technique. Clicking on the link does take you to the site that's being linked to, but sort of indirectly... So basically: 1. A site has a page called sitename.com/links.html 2. On links.html, there is a link to "Linked Site", but the actual href points to sitename.com/links/linkedsite.html 3. linkedsite.html contains a 0-second refresh that then takes the visitor to the actual "Linked Site" website. My question is, does this technnique actually count as a link-back to the search engines, or could it even be considered as a spam technique in the sense of the 0-second refresh? min.
