Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Irving, so a obfuscated javascript link is ok by Google?

Hi, our clients' .com site has a link in the header to the .com.au version of their site and vice versa.   In effect this creates a reciprocal link on each page.  Should we prevent the robots from crawling this link?  I don't think a nofollow will suffice.

Our client has two almost identical sites targeting:

Australia (www.mysite.com.au)

Rest of World (www.mysite.com)

Currently they have  splash page on www.mysite.com asking users to select:

Australia

Rest of World (redirects to: www.mysite.com/home)

I'm thinking they should get rid of slash page and simply auto detect if user on www.mysite.com is based in Australia and serve a message "Do you want to visit our .com.au site.

It's not helped by the fact the .com site appears to get served ahead of .com.au iin australia as both sites are hosted in US.  Looking to change this!

Thanks in advance for your help!
