Chris and Gurtie at Search Guild have published a working script that webmasters can insert into their webpages that kills Google AutoLink links.

Google Toolbar AutoLink Feature Disabled

What you need to do:

  • Insert the script anywhere in your html
  • or link it using the <script> tag in the <head> of your pages
  • and it will rewrite, the rewritten urls. Killing the Autolink functionality.

Here is the code:

// AutoBlink
// Puts Google's Autolink on the Blink :)

var linkcount;
function countlinks() {
  var numlinks;
  numlinks=0;
  for (i=0; i < document.links.length; i++) {
    numlinks++;
  }
  return numlinks;
}

function checklinks() {
  if (!(linkcount==countlinks())) {
    // Something changed the links!
    // Iterate for an id of _goog
    found=0;
    for (i=0; i < document.links.length; i++) {
      if (document.linksi.id.substring(0,5)=="_goog") {
        // If we find an id of _goog then remove the link!
        var tr = document.linksi.parentTextEdit.createTextRange();
        tr.moveToElementText(document.linksi);
        tr.execCommand("Unlink",false);
        tr.execCommand("Unselect",false);
      }
    }
  }
  setTimeout("checklinks()",500);
}

if (document.getElementById && document.createElement) {
  linkcount=countlinks();
  setTimeout("checklinks()",500);
}
