A JavaScript That Kills Google AutoLink Links

Chris and Gurtie at Search Guild have published a working script that webmasters can insert into their webpages that kills Google AutoLink links.

What you need to do:

Insert the script anywhere in your html

or link it using the <script> tag in the <head> of your pages

and it will rewrite, the rewritten urls. Killing the Autolink functionality.

Here is the code:


var linkcount;

function countlinks() {

&nbsp&nbsp  var numlinks;

&nbsp&nbsp  numlinks=0;

&nbsp&nbsp  for (i=0; i < document.links.length; i++) {

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp    numlinks++;

&nbsp&nbsp  }

&nbsp&nbsp  return numlinks;

}
function checklinks() {

&nbsp&nbsp  if (!(linkcount==countlinks())) {

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp    // Something changed the links!

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp    // Iterate for an id of _goog

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp    found=0;

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp    for (i=0; i < document.links.length; i++) {

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp      if (document.linksi.id.substring(0,5)=="_goog") {

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp        // If we find an id of _goog then remove the link!

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp        var tr = document.linksi.parentTextEdit.createTextRange();

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp        tr.moveToElementText(document.linksi);

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp        tr.execCommand("Unlink",false);

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp        tr.execCommand("Unselect",false);

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp      }

&nbsp&nbsp    }

&nbsp  }

&nbsp  setTimeout("checklinks()",500);

}

if (document.getElementById && document.createElement) { &nbsp linkcount=countlinks(); &nbsp setTimeout("checklinks()",500); }
