Hi All,

Quick question:

Are robots (Google bot) able to read a scripted outbound link like this:

www.environmental-expert.com/redirectURL.asp?CID=5302&URL=http://www.iwapublishing.com

Cheers,

Hannes

I don't know any way to be sure; there have been increasing reports that Google CAN follow javascript, but it is still (so far as I know) not at all clear that it does - and if so, in what circumstances.

In the example you give, I doubt it.

Search engines can read that type of links. But they don't read all links. Add that link on static page, which is indexed in search engine and most probably SEs will index it.

I don“t get this phrase. Could you be a bit more specific?

Cheers!

Non-technically:

Any page that has a URL without question mark ('?') is a static page.

examples:

h*ttp://mysite.com/mypage.htm
h*ttp://mysite.com/mypage.htm
h*ttp://mysite.com/mypage.php
h*ttp://mysite.com/mypage.asp

Your example URL has a question mark so it's not a static page.

HTH.

Ah ok. That is what you mean. Thanks!

That brings me to another point. I want our programmers to rewrite the URLs of our page in order to make them appear static. No I understand there is something called mod_rewrite for appache. The problem is that we have the whole thing on window servers. Someboday knows if there is any good software available to accomplish the URL re writing on a Windows server.

Cheers!

ISAPI rewrite from [link] and IIS Mod Rewrite from [link] are commercial modules which can be of help.
