Was jQuery implemented correctly on this link? - niconbc - 04-08-2014 04:47 AM

I was told by an SEO Specialist that in order to have maximum value to my more important pages I should put unnecessary URLs in the robots.txt and put them into an external JavaScript or jQuery so the actual links are not loaded until after the page is loaded, thus after the spiders have passed through. This way the links are not seen, crawled or indexed. Saving on bot resources, link value distribution and overall quality of the site.

So i gave the task to my developer but I am not to sure that he has implemented the jQuery functions correctly. I was hoping someone could take a look and let me know if he has.

Here is an example of a link where the developer has implemented jQuery:

http://devilswink.com/customer/account/login/

By the way, the SEO specialist also told me to NOT add a "noindex" tag.

I disable JS on mine browser and could't see difference between page with and with disabled JS.

Also beware - such rewriting techniques can be treated from search engines as link cloaking. This is considered as black hat and result is delisting from SERP with all consequences.
