Telling robot "no follow"? - GoFuckYourself.com

How do you make the robot not follow on a link that is in a script? Here, I'll show you what I mean. I want the following code to not be followed by the spiders:

<?

header("LOCATION:http://www.adultsponsor.com/acct=UserName" rel="nofollow");

?>

This rel="nofollow" code doesn't work. There is an error on the page if you click through on it. Is there an alternative code to rel="nofollow" for scripts?

you could probably set a redirect script as:
/go.php

and then prevent all SEs from going to /go.php using robots.txt

so your link would be:
a href='http://www.yoursite.com/go.php?go=http://www.sponsor.com'

woj,

Where do I put the /go.php? Like this down below?

<?
/go.php

header("LOCATION:http://www.yoursite.com/go.php?go=http://www.sponsor.com" rel="nofollow");

?>
