making links direct urls

When adding links to the directory with Gossamer Links, the urls run through the Links tracking system and then out. Is there a way to just have the destination URL as a direct link in the directory under the specific category? I want to do this for SEO.

Sure, you can just edit link.html.

Find:

Code:
<%config.db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>

..and change to:

Code:
<%URL%>

This WILL NOT track the outgoing clicks though.

And there's no way to do it to just one URL in the database?

You if/elseif condition along with what Andy said. It will work for single or your choice of multiple links.
