I would like to concentrate google's page rank in the index.php page of my site. That page has html links to the contact and about us pages. I don't want google rank going to those pages. I heard that spiders can't read javascripts and that would be perfect to 'hide' to the spider those outgoing links in the index.php while still being displayed to visitors in their Internet browsers. Which simple javascript widget can I use for the links? Thank you.

Just use SPANs or DIV and include an onClick even like this: <span onClick="document.location='http://www.yahoo.com';">Link</span> Michael J

Thanks, it works. My html 'a' css class has a hover version that changes the color of the 'Link' string. Can I simply do a <span class="a" onClick="...etc? How can I make the cursor change from an arrow to a finger when hovering over the 'Link' text as the usual a href tags do? Thanks again.

I think you mena that you have applied style to the 'a' elements. That is not the same as a class and youcan not do that. You can create a specail class for those DIVs and SPANs to give it the same functionality that you have for your regulary hyperlinks (changes on hover and changes mouse pointer - the latter is not well supported on all browsers.) But, an easier solution would just to use the onClink event in your regularyhyperlinks instead of using DIVs and SPANs like so (Changed <> to [] for forum purposes): [a href="#" onClick="document.location='http://www.yahoo.com';"]Link[/a] You should also look into specific META tags on those pages which will tell search engines not to index them Michael J

Superb, thank you very much.
