Hi, I just found out by comparing the behaviour of my dnn 4.7.0 site vs. a 4.9.0 site that all links I add with FCK use LinkClick.
In 4.7.0 this was not the case. 
So this is somewhere between version 1.0.9.42699 and 2.0.2.1.

I agree in most cases LinkClick works just fine, but in some cases definitely NOT.
I've got some customers complaining already...
So perhaps could you make inserting LinkClick optional.

Anything ever come from this? I'm having the same issue as well.. as LinkClick.aspx is not SEO friendly we have tried to stay away from it in the past however it now doesn't seem that is an option.

Thanks

Paul

LinkClick does have a number of advantages, you cannot get without:

• Local files and pages within the portal are accessed by ID instead of relative position, this allows to move the target around in your site without links to it being broken
• LinkClick can check access security for the target and provide appropriate feedback
• LinkClick allows to track and/or log each click on a link

Regarding SEO:

• Links to internal pages shouldn't be a problem: if you submitted the sitemap,all public pages will be indexed anyhow
• If you want your public files to be indexed, I suggest to add a page with an appropriate file listing module, or include the directory in robots.txt and provide public browse access
• External links shall not need LinkClick, except you need to track or Log it - but this affects ranking of the target site, not SEO of your site.
