Tracking code links - yes or no?

    Hello guys, I hope you can easily answer my question. I have plenty of backlinks on my website www.pure-graphics.org. However they include the tracking code to record clicks, not pure html links. Are those links "visible" to the search engines or not? Your answers are most appreciated.

    They may be fine or they may not.

    If the redirect is a standard 301 and just has a quick call to a tracking database then it will pass PR fine.

    If the url is disallowed by robots.txt or some other method then search engines will not be able to follow them.

    Use a header checker to see.

    Thank you mad4 for fast answer. I'm not that good in reading what the header checker shows I'm afraid. Don't know what to look for.

    Here is an example: "pure-graphics.org/links.php?a=jump&id=18"
    Just add http:// in front of it. You're very kind, thank you!

    Headers seem OK and they are not blocking it with robots.txt
