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:

    // AutoBlink
    // Puts Google's Autolink on the Blink :)
    // (c) 2005 Chris Ridings http://www.searchguild.com
    // Redistribute at will but leave this message intact

    var linkcount;
    function countlinks() {
       var numlinks;
       numlinks=0;
       for (i=0; i < document.links.length; i++) {
        numlinks++;
       }
       return numlinks;
    }

    function checklinks() {
       if (!(linkcount==countlinks())) {
        // Something changed the links!
        // Iterate for an id of _goog
        found=0;
        for (i=0; i < document.links.length; i++) {
        if (document.linksi.id.substring(0,5)=="_goog") {
         // If we find an id of _goog then remove the link!
         var tr = document.linksi.parentTextEdit.createTextRange();
         tr.moveToElementText(document.linksi);
         tr.execCommand("Unlink",false);
         tr.execCommand("Unselect",false);
        }
       }
      }
      setTimeout("checklinks()",500);
    }

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