    Try adding your

    <head>
    </head>

    tags also. I had this same problem and I needed to add HTML, HEAD, BODY tags for it to work for me.

        Just like below.

        PHP Code:
        <html>
        <head>
        <title>Redirecting.....</title>
        </head>
        <body>
        <?php header( Location: "Website url given here" ) ; ?>
        </body>
        </html>
        I don't know if this will work. But I did have the same issue as you and couldn't figure out why. Once I put in all the basic HTML tags it seemed to work.

          pls confirm where i need to put my tracking code..i think it doesnt matter whether we put code in header or body ?
          pls advice

            Ohh ya. Right above the </body> tag

            If this doesn't work. Then add it right above the redirect code. It could be that it's redirecting before it reaches the code to track. I also did a header refresh and added a 2 second delay. Might need to add a delay also to track properly.

                Try a meta refresh instead. Remove your code and put this in between the <head></head>

                PHP Code:
                <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1;url=http://example.com/" /> 
                Replace 1 with the second delay before it refreshes and the url with yours. I would just leave at 1 second.

    Hey Rajiv

    Why don't you track your clicks with a bit.ly url instead?
