Will opening an outbound link with a small script like the example below hide the link from Google, is it bad practice, is it OK, or does it not matter? Will Google penalize for this?
My reasoning is based on an article I read about page-leak from to many outbound links and using this type of script will hide the link from Googlebot.
The nature of my site makes me have a few hundred links to all 50 states fishing commissions, hunting commissions, conservation sites and adds up to hundreds of outbound links. It's a fishing site.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
