Comment:

I want to write an "exit site" script so if they get to my warning page and they want to exit my site verse entering my site that it will take them to a prviously viewed site. I'm thinking a java script. History (-1) or something like that.
Right now I have it hard linked to Google. I'm thinking that may hurt me when the spiders crawl my site.

Any help is appreciated

how about this code (PHP) on top of every page on your site:

session_start ();
if (!isset ($_SESSION['coming_from'])){
$_SESSION['coming_from'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
}

now that session contains address for the exit link.

actually when you visit my homepage (contact) above, there's a similar script with that one :D

I add some code to determine if there's no referrer (direct access) or bad referrer (result of weird browsers).

Also fetching the domain from http_referrer (by using parse_url();) to show on the page.

I'm not sure what your site consists of, but perhaps if you make your warning page a level deeper than your main index page you could just return them to that page.

For example, at yourpage.com, have an index page telling about your site and linking to all the content you offer, including a link to your warning about naughty bits or whatever. On the warning page, if they click the "don't enter" link it returns them back to your main index page. This way they stay at your site, which is usually desired.

I personally don't think hardlinking it to Google will hurt anything. All it will see is that you link to Google along with thousands of other websites. I think the only result will be that Google's ranking may go up even higher :)

Hiya folks. Thanks for the help. I don't do PHP yet. I haven't taken the time to learn it. I'll get around to it though. I don't like to use code that I don't fully understand. I know javascript, html, and css, and pearl.
I'd prefer to stick with what I know for now. LOL.
As for retaining traffic that comes to my site. If they are underage or easily offended. I don't want to retain them. I want them to go away. Once they enter my site. I have plenty to keep them interested and coming back for more. If you know what I mean.
My warning page can be found here
I think all questions will be answered about what kind of website I have.

As for the exit script. I guess I just figure that one out on my own.

Thanks

Personally, if I had a site like that, I would probably just link to Google for my "go away" link. Still don't see any harm in it.
