Yes, I call myself seoguy and not tradingscriptguy. SEO is pretty easy and has not much to do with trading script stuff.

Thanks headless ghost for the tip, you're very creative.
Google cares about the final destination of the page, not where it starts.

If your trade script uses a 301/302 redirect, it will judge whether its internal/external at the final destination.

Amusingly enough, if it's a 302 redirect (every boxed trade script i've paid attention to is), you're likely (engines have tested different ways of handling this, no one can claim to know for certain at any given time) not passing on any SEO benefit to the destination page anyways.. so all these people complaining about nofollow's aren't getting any benefit other than traffic from the trades anyways.

Hope that clears it up for you, seo guy.
