Do search engine bots follow or index links that are shown on a website
with blogrolling scripts like this one?

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
src="http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?r=
05f34894330abab8e32e0636d3bb041f"></script>

I need to show certain gambling and paid to blog links but I don't want to
take a penalty from google for doing so. I would put rel="nofollow" on
them but that isn't allowed in this situation.

I just want to show links that people can see and click, but that SE's
won't follow, index or even see.

will that work? What about an iframe?

No the search engines don't follow javascript links. The follow only
HTML links.

Bad top-posty boy, and wrong too. A basic javascript link can't be
executed by the engines, they can't click on it, for instance. If it's
got the a href bit in there though they should probably be able to
follow it ok.

ok, so links contained in a blogroll like this will not be crawled or
indexed.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"
src="http://rpc.blogrolling.com/display.php?r=
05f34894330abab8e32e0636d3bb041f"></script>

thanks

From looking at it I'd say not but because everything is volatile in
this shifting world we do business in I'd check it with a few
spider-sims.
