Smokey's example looks for the Google bot and changes out links/text based on that fact. So if Google visited your site you could add rel="nofollow" to your links.

My version, uses a redirect to kill the bot from passing to the other website, which kills any value the link may have. This is how most trade scripts work or redirect links from sponsors.
So a no follow lets to bot go to the other site, it just doesn't give them any kind of consideration for the inbound link. The others prevent the bot from going to the sites at all. and otherwise they are all exactly the same?

Would any of them piss google off?
