If I request a link to my site http://www.mysite.com and I get a link that has code which looks like: http://www.linkingdomain.com/offsite.htm?site=http://www.mysite.com Will it help me increase my linkpop, or will search engines not see this as a link to mysite? Thanks Ajeet
Hmm good question, because it seem like more and more sites are using similar approaches for click counting etc. Perhaps it depends on how the linking site did the redirect. Potentially they could count the click in php and then output a 301 redirect header, but if they did this (instead of using a META refresh tag or some cgi or dll), would that count as a BL? Hopefully someone who is more knowledgable will have more insight. If not maybe we could come up with an experiment to test this.
