Hi - Does anyone know how to go about "URL redirection" to website addr ?
Ie: say i host an image with imageshack (which generates a link), which when clicked should lead to a website addr.

Or isn't it possible (or illegal) ?
Thanks-Mave

  • That would be a nice way to generate traffic.
    But it's not possible.
  • Url re-direction domain are redirected to a different domain name.
  • Definitely not "illegal" as there is no statute or law prohibiting sticking a link on a page, yet

    The only way you are going to associate a link with the image though is if the platform allows it. Now imageshack is just an image hosting site, but something like Pinterest may be more of what you are looking for.

    • Thanks everyone.

      John - Can you tell me how Pinterest would help ? I've had a look @ the website.
      Are you saying that if i host an image on Pinterest, it will re-direct me to a website ?
  • If you want to Redirect Old domain to New domain use the coding given below:-

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule (.*) new domain $1 [R=301,L]
  • With Pinterest you can not only leave an image but you can also leave a link, so that when people click the link they can end up on your site. Is that what you need to happen?
  • To Do 301 Redirection Follow Below Code :-
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule (.*) new domain/$1 [R=301,L]
  • What you are trying to do is not that easy. If you redirect url then you might not get your estimated traffic as you wanted.
  • I do not see any reason that is why it might not work. Rather if you do everything properly then you can do that easily.
    By putting proper link address in it's attributes.

    • Hi John - if i "PIN" an image from imageshack(as opposed to a website), i don't see how it leads me to a website? unless i'm missing something.

      One more thing, on Facebook, when i make a Wall Post, with a URL link, FB automitically picks up default image associated with link.
      But image loads up as a small thumbnail.

      Any idea on how i might be able to load up a bigger image ?

      Thanks - Mave
