Hello Warriors.

I'm trying out a new technique and I'm running in to trouble because I don't know how to redirect my site. My site is a wordpress blog that is installed into my hosting account if that makes any difference.

And I only want the site to be redirected when someone clicks on a link from a different site to come to my site. I don't want someone to be redirected if they just type in my URL.

How would I do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Go into cpanel to domains and you will see a icon that is labeled redirects.
That should take care of it.

Merry Christmas !

  Thanks, but would that re-direct everyone that visits my site? I don't want to redirect everyone, I only want to redirect people that come from a particular traffic source.
  
  And Merry Christmas to you as well, It's definitely nice to have a white Christmas here in Dallas. This is my first Christmas here in Dallas so I thought it was normal..lol
  
  Thanks

  You can go in there and play around since I havent but there should be a way in there for what you are wanting to do.
  
  Its normal for the rapid changes but Christmas snow in Dallas? Kinda rare.
  
  What area of Dallas are you? You can PM me if you dont want your location public.
  
  Thanks

If you are doing it for advertising reasons I usually set up a new page on my website like w*w.yoursitehere(dot)com/go/trafficsource

then have a meta refresh redirect to send them where you want if not on your site or build a page there that you want them to see.

here is the meta code if you need it, it goes in the <head> section of your page:

<META http-equiv="refresh" content="2;
URL=http://www.destinationURL.com/"> This META tag will send the visitor to the new URL after 2 seconds. You can set the timing to 0 seconds and have it jump immediately or set it for 30 seconds or longer.

Merry Christmas!
