But anyway, it doesn't matter, because there's an easy way for us liberal bloggers to get around this, and as a service to my fine liberal brethren, here's how it works. Instead of using the URL to the right-wing blog post in question when creating your link, first take this string:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=
Then, you simply append the post URL to the end, immediately after the equal-sign. So, if you're going to link Byzantium's Shores, instead of linking this URL:
http://byzantiumshores.blogspot.com
...you'll actually link this URL:
http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://byzantiumshores.blogspot.com
What you've just done is create a redirect through Google, which according to my brief experimentation with SiteMeter and this blog, shows up as a hit but one with an unknown referring URL. Likewise, I doubt Technorati would pick it up as a link. And besides, no blogger is going to be insane enough as to block referrals from Google, right?
So there you go, liberal bloggers -- break free of the traffic-blocking shackles! Link whomever you desire!
Never hurts to revisit the basic techniques, folks.
