How to link to a site without passing ANY linkjuice (other than simply nofollowing)

[TylerAbernethy]

I have heard that there are other ways of linking to a site, to completely avoid passing any seo value

I think it was even in a whiteboard friday video where I saw Rand say something about doing a 307 "temporary" redirect, or something like that?

Basically, I want to let my customers compare our prices with ebay, but I don't want to have ebay outrank us (for obvious reasons)

Any help?

obfuscated URLs via javascript linking will not only not pass PR but your PR won't get thrown away like it does with a nofollow.

What's wrong with nofollowing the link - that is the recommended method. Also I would make it target="_blank" so the link opens in a new window and Google doesn't count it as a bounce in your analytics.

Awesome! That sounds like a great option!

I just don't want to risk, even in the slightest, that I could pass any value to a site that is already as powerful as Ebay.

That's another good point though. I always try and make good use of the target="_blank" tag. I almost wish that it was coded into wordpress to have all outbound links do that.

any recommended references for obfuscated URLs?
