2 questions about Landing Pages

1.)
What is the benefit of using redirect.php?

I currently use index.html and just redirecting to offer landing page once people click the image.
If I used index.php then to redirect.php then to offer.php which will automatically redirect to offer landing page. Isn't it the same?

2.)
I capture screen and make full image as landing page with image size 775 x 400. But when I test it out, the offer landing page still remains 775 x 400. What is script to open offer page to full window size?

So, 775 x 400 landing page > click > full page window size.

    1) Within the scope of your question why do you need a redirect?
    If your currently linking the image on the index.html to the offer landing page, what's the issue with that?
    If your trying to avoid them clicking the image to go to the landing page, then why not have the landing page as your index.
    2) If the image is actually a full screenshot of a website and your shrinking it down to 775 x 400 on the index page, then wanting it back to full capture size on the landing page, then you just need to specify the size when you insert the image in the code.
    No reason to use a redirect if you don't have to.
    "If I used index.php then to redirect.php then to offer.php which will automatically redirect to offer landing page. "
    That's 2 redirects for nothing.
    If I land on your index page, then am redirected to your offer page, which then automatically redirects me to a landing page, I'm outta there!
    If none of this is correct, specify exactly what your trying to do, and the purpose.

      I am trying to promote CPA offers via PPV platform. People say to make a landing page and I really don't know much about html or php. Using offer page as index using iframe seems like it doesn't work well since the PPV platform allows sizes from 800 x 600. So I had to create landing page with the image and when a person clicks the image it redirects person to offer landing page. But the size still remains 775 x 400. I am not sure which script goes into enlarge to full size window once a person clicks image on landing page.

      People say use php from landing page (index.php) to offer page to rotate 2-3 different offers. So for example, if I see a popup with landing page and I click the image within, I get redirected to 1-3 types of offers.

    I few scenarios where a redirect would provide value:

    1. You want to dynamically control the actual destination page. If you are rotating through several offers or landers to find a winner, for example. Or, if you want to redirect the user to a new page if a CPA offer is pulled.

    2. You want to show different results for different requests. For example, you might show 1 page to desktop users and another to mobile users based on their user-agent or headers.

    3. You want to do something tricky with the traffic such as blank the referrer.

    4. You want to track the traffic or process the request in some way (although this doesn't require a redirect, it typically would require server-side scripting of some type).

    There are probably other obvious reasons to use a redirect.php. But, chances are, if you don't know what it is or why you need it then you probably don't need it. Simple html will probably work for you. Don't overthink it. You'll have enough to worry about just getting to profitability.

    For the browser resize, different CPV networks will handle this differently. Most disallow it in their terms. Be aware of that. Some actively disable resizing. For the rest, just use a standard browser resize script. Google knows all... look there.
