Hello.

I noticed that many sites use the linkindex attibutes in their anchor taxe such as : <a linkindex="158" href="http://www.outboundlink.com/"</a>
is ther any reason behind this. Should I use it with some script to track each link on my page.

thanks in advance for your precious help
 


Honestly if you Google "linkindex" or something like that surprisingly little information comes up. It is not valid HTML (like tabindex is) and it seems like it might be added by editors (I saw WordPress and/or Dreamweaver mentioned) to keep track of the order of links you add or something like that and that's all I could find about it.

Also this should probably be in the design/coding section. :)
 
Thank Nostalgae and fuck you bprimeelite you are just an asshole and you are such a big gay who likes getting pumped in the hole.
indeed it is not a valid HTML and it is widely used by affiliate marketers.
