I'm not sure about your specific spider, but the commonly accepted way to do what you describe is something like: <a href="http://www.example.org/" rel="nofollow">Link</a> That's perfectly standards compliant, and Googlebot obeys that, as well as several other major spiders AFAIK. As I said, I can't speak for your specific spider. You could ask them to implement it if they don't, it wouldn't be hard if they already implement <nofollow>. Jasper
