Just wanted to update everyone: We have changed our click tracking this evening to a 'cleaner' version. While there was no real evidence that our previous links weren't passing PR, and a lot of the same claims can be made about the new links, we figured it couldn't hurt to take the safer route.

A big thanks for sebastian on sphinn for digging up a solution.

Hey Andy, are you blocking co comments on your blog somehow? I don't get the tracking tool, and it's not picking up the comments here after I commented.

[Andy, I hit a spam filter so I'm resubmitting this again, in case my other comment gets lost in the spam box]

"Well as Andy said it was him that brought it up"

Yeah, I know.

"and now you say oh nevermind. Well why is it ok for Andy to bring up off topic issues?"

Andy explained why he didn't think the issue was off-topic, so I let it go.

"I can't call Andy here a Guppy yet users can call me a ..."

Rose, I don't think anyone else objected as bluntly as I did to Greg's post. But you did cast the first stone, so what happened next shouldn't have surprised you, even if it was completely uncalled for and unjustifiable.

It's Friday - make yourself a drink and relax (I'm way ahead of you).

Look, Rose, I know its not fair. The only justification for Greg Boser's behavior is "she started it" which doesn't fly. Like I posted over on Sphinn, his idea is dumb. I don't think anyone else in that thread objected as strongly and bluntly as I did to Greg's post. But you did cast the first stone, and what happened next isn't all that unexpected.

It's Friday night - make yourself a drink and relax (I'm way ahead of you).

BlogCatalog should have listened then, but no they were to stubborn to.

It took a post of 58 Comments on Sphinn to wake them up.

The good thing is I hope they now change things around to be fair.

Quoting Danny " Thank you for bringing it to our attention, don't be surprised if you see it implemented soon."

He was replying to Sebastian.

Credit goes to Mr. Doubts for first finding this though.

Andy this was not personal. It had already been pointed out back in June and I was only stating that it should be fixed.

Halfdeck why it ok for Andy here to bring it up yet not me? I was only quoting what Andy said to Shawn. That certainly did not WIN brownie points in the debate.

Dane no I have not. However, if you are referring to the links on BloggerTalk they have been fixed. Funny- we take suggestions and make changes.

Andy- why did you delete my comment?

Halfdeck , you said I did not win any brownie points for bringing up off-topic issues like MyBlogLog. Well as Andy said it was him that brought it up and now you say oh nevermind. Well why is it ok for Andy to bring up off topic issues?

Got to love the SEO circle... I can't call Andy here a Guppy yet users can call me a dumb a**.

I can't mention BC but Andy can.

Andy if you think this all has to do with my being removed for pointing out their lack of terms of service and that they were a clone- you better think again. The funny thing is NOW Daniel is making changes.

Quoting Danny " Thank you for bringing it to our attention, don't be surprised if you see it implemented soon."

You just don't get it and you never will Andy.

Here let me dumb it down.

Also, while the links do not prove that pagerank is being passed, this is not the same as the links do not prove anything.

Have you received any emails from your own directory members about the redirect links you use that pass no PR or link pop?

Actually, I just read it at the sphinn discussion.

Am I entirely alone, or does the fact that he took the time to make that post and STILL did not address the topic of the discussion say something?
