What kind of a link is this?

[KSA]

Hi,

I ran a spider simulator on a site that wants to exchange links. Here are the types of links it found:


sid=589650924&url=http://www.rheimsjewelry.com&action=go&id=14051
../../action.php?


I usually stay away from any link that isn't just the site address, but I'm wondering if this is a dynamic link that would 1) give credit to my site for the link, and 2) not do some 302 redirect, etc.

The source code also has a line that says:

<META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">

Anyone have any ideas on either of those??

Thanks,

Kathleen

The source code also has a line that says:

<META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">

This tag just instructs the client browser to not cache the page because it will be frequently updated. This is usually included on dynamic pages such as blogs or something that will change often.

Thanks, FocusAgent. But, to be effective, link pages should be cached, shouldn't they?

Does anyone recognize the link format??

Please, help!

They're hiding your link so do not link to them. Tell them when they want to make your link static and actually give as much benefit as they will get from your site they can reask for the link

Hello Kathleen. That is a "tracking script". Nothing mischievous about it however it is in the form of a 302 server redirect.

Thanks guys - Hi Jeff--

I'll have to review all my links. I keep seeing a bunch of 302 redirects in my site stats, so that's probably coming from someone I linked to?!?

By the way, does anyone know why I'm not getting e-mails when someone adds to this thread? The system says that I'm receiving Instant Email Notification, but I'm not actually receiving them.

Thanks again!

Crap ..I did a link verification...found about 20 people who deleted my
link to me..so I had to terminate my link back to them.

also found someone in Arizona who had all his exchange link that links
back to his Website...forgot his url address ;-(

Arizona? That's my neck of the woods. What was the problem?

Well while checking all my links with all my partners (link program and manually)
I found a website in AZ that had all outbound link going to his site, not to the
website owners site...
