Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Vladimir_VVV, one of the russian drupal community members, had implemented redirect to external sites via /goto/mygreathashforyourwebsite pages in his modification of this module year or so ago. He used ELF 6-1.0. But ELF has been developed greatly since then so I've decided to reimplement this functionality again for the latest release of this module. I can't promise it will work for you, but it works for me perfectly. You can find my patch attached to this thread.

xanoTwo questions: what exactly does it do and why is it useful? Also, the patch doesn't follow the Drupal coding standards. Could you please make sure it does?

Ingumsky commented1. First of all it helps to prevent spammers attacks. Most spammers need to get links from the pages highly-rated by search engines (such as Google) because it gives them a chance to get their websites up search results lists. Secondly it helps webmasters addicted to SEO technics who have no desire to share the "weight" of their pages with anybody else :)
2. M-m-m... That's not my code you know. The original work has been done by Vladimir_VVV... I'm not a programmer to be honest but I'll try to rewrite it bearing in mind DCS. Unfortunately I can't promise I'll do it anytime soon -(

xanoWhat about a rel="nofollow"? That's implemented already.
Comment #4
Ingumsky commentedGoogle isn't the only Search Engine people use but other engines ignore "nofollow" so it's better to give webmasters an option to redirect external links and pass them through their websites' internal pages (I add Disallow = /goto/ to my robots.txt).
