A link with "return false"- OSE sees as a No Followed Link

[OneMedical]

Hello,

I couldn't find a clear answer to the impact on SEO for a link written in this way:

[" class="expert_info" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">](w</span>ww.yourwebsite.com<span style=)

[Does the "return false" act as a "no follow"? I came across this in our link data in Open Site Explorer which lists these links all as "no follows." However, an engineer I spoke to said that it shouldn't impact search engine behavior.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance!

I agree. Just another link. Even nofollow links are good links, but no, this one is not a nofollow link. It's a dofollow as they say..link :).

The javascript code does not act as a nofollow. It may be causing a problem with OSE's crawler, but it will not have any search impact.
