Hey guys,

I know this is a generalized question but I want to set up a redirect page to an offer I am promoting. The domain I'm using for this is macbookairforfree.info which is my domain that acts as the domain name of the offer. So how do you set up a redirect page?

Thanks

Chris

    you could use this if you like :

    Code:
    <?php
header( 'Location: http://www.yourdomain.com/where-ever-you-want' ) ;
?>
    Just copy & paste into notepad, change the domain (obviously), "save as" index.php

    then upload to your server.

    I actually just posted this somewhere else, 2 minutes ago. cant remember where.

    In case you're not using php, you can use this within your HTML head tags:
    Code:
    <META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="1; URL=http://www.yoursite.com">
    content=1 <===set the number of seconds you want it to wait before the redirect happens. You'd probably want 0 in your case.

      if you're with godaddy it can be found in the control panel, there's also a cool feature that hides the actual web-site to where it redirects.

      So people see your web-site's address while on a different site and as far as I know it does not use Iframe for that (which is good)

        I have concerns doing this. First, the referred site may prevent it; Second, if I am a users clicks affliate link on your site and later see items from Amazon with web address as your URL, I am suspecting this is a cloned site of Amazon so I may be reluctant to type in my credit card number here since I do not trusr this site as Amazon.com?

        You get my point? In this case your web site looks site a phishing site.

          In this case it may be worth your while to use the internal godaddy redirect service if you have your domain registered there...as mentioned above.

          If not you are left with the option of the meta refresh or the php code, both outlined above.

    I would do it like this <A href="Site you want them to go to">Click Here</A>

    They would only see click here or what ever want to put at click here.

    I hope I helped.

      Thats a hyper link and requires the user to click, which will usually lower the amount of traffic you get to the offer...... I would use the meta refresh mentioned earlier with a 2 second delay so to not show where the traffic was comming from personally.
