Yeah, that is right. With a little well placed JavaScript you can now choose to “opt out” of Google’s new AutoLink feature in the new version of the Google toolbar. It is no secret that I don’t like everything that Google does. Don’t get me wrong, they have done some great things as well. However this is one I have to put in the “loser” column. Now I can rant and rave about this all day long, but you came to learn how to fix the problem right?
The fix comes from the folks at Search Guild. It is an easy “cut and paste” job into your own Web site’s HTML. Once done, then you don’t have to worry about Google and the attack of the AutoLinks.

A Web site has a right to keep it’s content the way it wants it to be seen. This script just puts the control back into the hands of the content creator.
