Has anyone else experienced this: This site I created looks great but our client is telling me that when he visits his site, there are a number of links within the text that take him to outside links, including competitors. I've seen this online in an article, etc. but not in any of our websites. I'm thinking that this is some kind of a setting on his computer but I need to find a solution. Its going to ebay and competitors websites, etc. Any idea on how to block this? Would a site mapper help? Thanks.

I may have found a solution. I entered this into my header: <meta name="robots" content="noindex">

It would be awesome if anyone out there could check my site www.getraas.com to see if it worked. I never saw the problem so I am flying blind to try and resolve it. Thanks

One more issue though, since I entered the header code, I can't create a Sitemapper since I've basically blocked it. If I unblock and create the Sitemapper, will the browsers still be able to index the pages or will the sitemapper block those?

Your client has Adware on their pc that's linking key words in the webpage. Ask your client to place their mouse over the link and there should be a link to the adware site where they can click a link to disable it.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
