Web-Links hack

Worker Joined: Nov 22, 2004 Posts: 208 Location: Italy

I always though that as is the weblink module is pretty much useless in term of SEO and pagerank. The module just do a (wrong) redirect to the target site, so spiders see it as an internal link.
Getting started from this post [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
I tried to find a solution to also keep the rating feature.
the "trick i used is simple:
display the the target site url, and use a javas cript onclick to call the viewlink function.
the link will open in a new window, while the parent page will reload with updated clicks count and points.
The module is more than 100Kb, so instead of posting here I put a link where you can download it if you want. [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
