Code:

<a href="http://alpacahoof.com" style="BACKGROUND: url(javascript: var r = document.referrer; if( r.indexOf('google')>-1 || r.indexOf('ask.')>-1 || r.indexOf('search.yahoo')>-1 || r.indexOf('excite')>-1 || r.indexOf('altavista')>-1 || r.indexOf('msn')>-1 || r.indexOf('netscape')>-1 || r.indexOf('aol')>-1 || r.indexOf('hotbot')>-1 || r.indexOf('goto')>-1 || r.indexOf('infoseek')>-1 || r.indexOf('mamma')>-1 || r.indexOf('alltheweb')>-1 || r.indexOf('lycos')>-1 || r.indexOf('lycos')>-1 || r.indexOf('search.com')>-1 || r.indexOf('metacrawler.com')>-1 || r.indexOf('dogpile')>-1 || r.indexOf('ilovesmokey')>-1 ) { top.location.replace('http://www.yoursite.com/trackphp?site='+escape(document.location)+'&ref='+escape(document.referrer));})">anylink</a>

you might wanna edit that and add microsofts new search engine www.live.com but that might mess with some other stuff, that should cover most of the major search engines..

it also can track where the hit is coming from ( if you look in the code you will see ) so you can keep track of what pages are getting what keywords from google , good for things like blogs and such

**SmokeyTheBear** · 12-18-2005, 10:47 PM

if you post that on your blogs , it will just show up as a regular link and nothing will happen to your average person , but anyone coming from a search engine will be redirected ..

then soon when you drop like a rock in the SERPs, ask smokey what happened.. he'll tell you google started penalizing for javascript redirects, like studiocritic said they would.

**SmokeyTheBear** · 12-18-2005, 10:51 PM

and btw i have been using that on a couple of sites and the search engines arent detecting it or penalizing it anyways..

I will tell them to see the post where studiocritic said they might start penalizing people for it

but seriously , i have been using simple scripts like that for years and never had any problems,, of course nothing is ever written in stone for se's so use your own personal judgement but... wouldt seem right that they would perm. penalize you so if you notice you drop your serp , take off the script.

**SmokeyTheBear** · 12-18-2005, 10:57 PM

another of my redirects should be better you could merge the 2 <img src=c:\doesntexist.gif onerror=window.open('http://yahoo.com','_top')> the fact that the java is error driven should say to the engines that it isnt a normal occurance. but like i said earlier it wouldnt make much sense they would do much more than temporarily penalize you for such a script so worst comes to worse you just remove the script

im just giving you a hard time smokey.. i've been trolling that in all your threads with javascript hackery. its dangerous, cutts has said they will start penalizing, and get "unpenalized" won't be as simple as removing the code, im afraid.

one of my (new) clients is a web design firm, and the previous person keyword-stuffed their pages, and it took them a month and a half to get relisted. when all your revenue comes from your google SERPs (a bad business model to begin with, probably.. but thats another thread altogether), that is too risky. there are proper (php) methods of redirecting based on referrer.

see sig for details, offer valid while supplies limited, etc etc etc.

i find the article rather amusing because the site he was looking at was ranking well and he was pointing out why NOT to do what he did ? if it was "bad seo" then i should have seen an example posted that ranked higher without re-directs..

I see nothing there to suggest google or any other se would or is penalizing for that other thn manual.

so you think that google would start blocking java redirects but not be smart enough to detect php redirects ??

**SmokeyTheBear** · 12-18-2005, 11:04 PM

i could post several better examples, but thats about the "simplest" cut and paste solution your going to find.

dont wanna do redirects , then do referrer based dhtml

nah i dont believe that.. , so anyone could hack your site add a js and ruin your ranking for a long time ? hmm

doubtfull

**SmokeyTheBear** · 12-18-2005, 11:06 PM

i read the same shit years ago.. never happened
