Quick question:

If I have a website and using an HTML redirect can I place my analytics code below the redirect or will it not read, thus needing to place the code above the redirect.

Thanks

Why not just use bit.ly or some other redirect service? It's easier to use since you don't have manually change the code of your page.

You should be placing your code on the page you are looking to track. Not in the redirect.

What is it you are trying to track exactly? The number of redirects happening? Or the page it redirects to?

I'm promoting a CPA offer from maxbounty and I purchased a domain name and redirected it to the affiliate link. This way I can try to match up my PPC campaign traffic with the analytics.

At this point I am just testing the product, if it seems to convert on some keywords then I plan on building the site up

Place the code above the redirect. I don't see any reason the analytic code won't read it. Once the browser hit the page it reads.

Are you doing the redirect via a meta refresh or some other mechanism?

For the affiliate link redirects, your best bet is to use a php redirect, and then place the analytics code before it. That should still get you the stats.
