Beenish,
There are 2 things you can do here, but it really depends on what it is you
are really trying to do.
Charlie offered a solution, but that is to only make the URL SEO friendly,
and will still provide a problem to you.
My suggestion would be to look into a program called browser hawk, or you
could write your own. But its worth spending the money and get something
that has already been compiled with all search engines.
The idea behind what you want to do is to first decide that whoever is
browsing your webpage to see if it is a search engine or not, and to then
decide what to do based on that decision.
So if it was a search engine, you could deny them access or push them to
somewhere else within you're website.
So in your case,
If(!Searchengine)
{
Recordclickthrough();
}
Location = 'page to relocate too'

Subject: [cfaussie] Changing HTTP responses
Hi,
I'm pretty sure this can't be done but hoping someone can prove me
wrong.
I need to track click throughs on a link accurately without it having
any url parameters attached to it. It has to be a clean link straight
to "http://www.thesitesname.com.au" for the purposes of search engine
optimisation.
It has been suggested to me to look at a way of changing http
responses. So, the link redirects to a page to track a click and then
change the http response so that it looks like it never went to the
click tracking page and redirect to the
"http://www.thesitesname.com.au" as if it was where it was going there
in the first place. In a way I'm trying to "fool" the search engine
into thinking it's a link straight to "http://www.thesitesname.com.au".
I don't see how this can be done. In fact I don't think it can be done.
Please prove me wrong and tell me how to do it or else prove me right.
Thanks
Beenish
