Question. are you and other posters on here deliberately placing a space between the "h" and "ttp". If so, why? It's annoying as hell.

It's only for polls, so the poll-site does not see all new votes coming from this site.

so the website doesnt have a directing URL from RPForums. Some websites start blocking/banning IP's of people coming from Ron Paul websites. If they ut the space, people have to fix it themselves in a new address bar so it doesnt show the linked website where the people are coming from.

[NeoRayden]

it breaks the link so it is untraceable to others that will want to point fingers at saying we are planting votes I guess.

Yes, we were having issues earlier in the campaign with polls being removed when a flood of votes suddenly came in from people who were using links on the forum.

By "breaking" the link it removes that problem.

thanks... maybe because it's not obvious?

I know that I don't even bother looking for them any more, to busy doing things in the real world. I only posted this one because one of my volunteers sent me an e-mail about it.

What is the technical reason they would "see" we were coming from this site? Doesn't this site have all links open in a new window?

[nodope0695]

Why do you guys always break the link??? What is the point in that?

[dsentell]

VOTED!

If the Missouri primary was held today and you voted Republican, whom would you vote for?

Rudy Giuliani

Mike Huckabee
11%

John McCain
33%

Ron Paul
17%

Mitt Romney
20%

Fred Thompson
4%

Other
3%

pwn it yall..

[Cal Mabus]

UP with this John McCan't crap!

[Manganese]

Maybe it only registers votes that come from a Missouri IP address. That would be clever.

Or maybe it just adds 1 bonus tally for McCain for every 3 votes cast.

It's to prevent the Google page rank from increasing for that page.

When you see a favorable article, don't break the link.

If it's not favorable, break the link.

That should allow the best articles to bubble up to the top of the Google search results.
