One of my clients wants to link a competitor's site from their site (don't ask why) But they dont want search engines to use that link to enhance their pagerank on Google. Is there a way that I can link a site (perhaps through a redirect) without the search engine being able to crawl through?

The only way I can think of is the index nofollow
meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow"

Xentic.. But doesnt that code have to be on the actual page that you dont want indexed?

that will stop the robots crawling the page with the link on but there's nothing you can do about the fact that the competitors site will be crawled and traffic taken into account, you could put the link in a swf if you need the rest of your page to be crawled I guess.

you can use content="noindex,nofollow" so it wont index the page with the link and it won't index the pages linked from that page

I think they will always be able to see where their visitors came from...
