Running a PHP click counter script on my site. The script uses PHP's header url function to redirect and count the url being clicked.
Based on http://www.webconfs.com/how-to-redirect-a-webpage.php, a HTTP 301 redirect will be more apporpriate for SEO's.
Hence I changed my PHP script from
[code]Header("Location: $url");[code]
to
[code]Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header("Location: $url");[code]
Will this affect my keyword rankings? Would this have a negative affect with Google in anyway? My only goal is to track the actual click throughs for various links on our homepage but not at the expense of positioning with Google.
Any advice is welcome!

Google will index the page that you are redirecting to.
That makes things a little awkward I expect.

Thank you g1smd!
Do you think Google looks down on this type of link/click through tracking? I was worried the keywords in the hyperlink would no longer carry the same weight for the page they are linking to. Googles guidelines did not seem to really cover this type of thing, I wish they did.
