Domain redirect to Commission Junction affiliate programs

[nevermind the first 3/4 of the post, my URL examples were not showing properly, so I'll go straight to the question]

What would be the safest way to redirect a website to a CJ affiliate program? I was doing it with a meta-tag in the index page with a "refresh" command that points to the first link at the top of this post for example. Is it possible that they're not counting those clicks since there's no banner with the matching code to click on?

CJ clicks are always lower than the number of clicks reported through my budurl's and snippr's....

Thank you

    You do know that the majority of CJ advertisers frown upon this, don't you? You could lose a good advertiser if you get caught doing this.... just a friendly heads up.

      I do it through the domain name panel at the registrar. Fast and easy.

      This is true -- although for the life of me I can't understand why. We send them targeted traffic. If someone buys something, the merchant wins. If not, no skin off their back.

    It'd be more reliable using php as it would be done instantly on the server-side. If it's done in the meta tag it only gets redirected once the browser loads the head of the document.

    To do it in php use this code:

    <?php
    header("Location: www.whateverlink.com");
    ?>
