Simple Redirect I Think?

by the_icon Posted: 15 years ago 7 replies

Hey all

Looking for help doing, I think, a simple redirect.

When people hover over my link, I want them to see in the bottom left hand corner, www.mysitename.com/xxxxxxxx but I want them to go to www.peerfly.xxxxxxxxxx.

Do I have to create a file and upload it to server?

If so how do I do that?

Cheers in advance

You can set the text in the status bar using Javascript.

e.g.
<script> window.status = "www.mysitename.com" </script>

Here's a friendly advice:

If you doing this to hide your affiliate ID, please remember the FTC rules, because it might be considered that you are hiding the reader the fact you'll make money with that link.

I had no idea about the FTC though doesnt everyone do simple redirects?

What difference does it make if the user sees yoursitename.com/xxxxx instead of peerfly.com/xxxxxx?

  Here's one example:
  Let's say my affiliate ID for AWeber is my_affiliate_id.
  Let's say your link looks like http://AWeber.com, it displays http://AWeber.com in the status bar, but it goes to http://AWeber.com/my_affiliate_id, this can be considered deceiving practice.
