My page rank ain't what it used to be.

My company carefully tracks ROI for ads by using a referral program that runs through a dynamic single page hosted on ONE of our domains. This page associates a source from our database with the visitor and then redirects to any number of other domains or subdirectories also pulled from the DB. The source stays with their session and is associated with their name when they fill out a form.

This is GREAT for recording sources (the referring server code in ASP or server logs alone is never enough, though we do this too). However, Google doesn't recognize these links as being pointed to their final destination - they are all recorded as going towards the referral.asp page. Which brings me to

QUESTION 1:
Can I continue to use this database-driven link-tracking (a la www.domain.com/directory/ref...sp?linkid=123) ? Is there a way to help Google realize the FINAL page is the right destination?

Currently they are set up as asp pages with a javascript redirect: response.redirect(url)

Is there a better way to do it? Keep in mind that I'd like to continue to pass the actual URL from a database.

QUESTION 2:
I was doing some competitor research and I found a site that is providing one of my competitors with hundreds of google-indexed backlinks but not providing either of two other competitors on the site with ANY indexed backlinks.

The site uses phpAdsNew... Does anyone have experience with phpAdsNew or OpenAds? Does it use nofollow links or something?

You can find the page here: < URL removed See Forum Rules >
The side banner ads seem to be repeated all over the site. The bottom ad's URL is getting inbound links from all of the pages on the pnnonline site while the other two are not. Can't figure it out!

Why would one of the URLS get tons of inbound value from that page while the other two don't!?

Thanks a lot!
