1) Javascript is your only hope to disable clicking through, as suggested by the other responders. 2) It can still be defeated. How important is it to keep them and why? 3) If you want a set amount of time you could just put in a refresh for some length of time, but that would then whisk the page out from under the surfer -- and you'd still have the problem of managing to come through too early. 4) I can't think of any way you can reliably keep someone on a page for a given time, but if you want to ensure that they can't go forward you might make the next link require a magic key which you magically decode to a time stamp (based on server time of course) some distance future from when it was sent. Note that this will require decryption as well as encryption, since if the click didn't come in at exactly the right time the server's encryption to check would be different and not just "greater".
