But, as a total newbie in ajax, php and all this stuff, i was wondering if you could write a more detailed step by step guide to implement your script on a wordpress blog... I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks. Steker I must thank you for this post because it seems to do exactly what i was looking for.

I'll have to update my stuff to take your notes into account. One thing that I'm doing is remembering the last IP address that clicks each link, so double-clicks (quadruple, octa-click or whatever) are ignored. Pablo : Thanks for your comments.

Changing it to false should solve the issue. Also, maybe it's useful to point out that if user makes a double (or quadruple or whatever ) click on the link, the request will be executed twice (or four times and so on).

This is exactly what I was looking for! The only thing I don't get, is why this would improve your pagerank and the Adsense-ads. Anyway, many thanks, Joshua (I'm Dutch, so don't blame me for incorrect spelling) Thank you very much!
