Simple Redirect Scripts

Would you like to provide a Simple Redirect URL to take your readers to a third party website?

This is ideal for an affiliate style website.

Most search engines and directories will not list your site if it is a starting point for a bunch of affiliate programs. If all or most of your website's links point to another domain, then both the search engines and directories would prefer just to list the destination website.

With this software, you can create a host of Redirect URL's to place on your site that will actually take the visitor to another pre-selected website, while maintaining the illusion that the URL resides on YOUR domain.

Here is a couple of examples using the files as placed on our server.

(Keep in mind that once you place this software on your website, the path shown will be at your website and not ours.)

PERL Sample: (Put in Your Own Test URL)
http://www.stewartconsultants.com/cgi-bin/perl/sr/simple-redir.pl?r=
PHP Sample: (Put in Your Own Test URL)
http://www.stewartconsultants.com/cgi-bin/php/sr/simple-redir.php?r=

In order to use this software, you will actually take the Destination URL and put it on the tail end of the Actual URL of the software and the Form Value (?r=):

http://yourdomainurl.com/path_to_file?r=http://destinationurl.com


If ALL of your outbound links go to the same external website, you can edit the file to only send the path_to_file through the linking process. For example, I belong to one affiliate program where I send visitors. I can actually send the visitor to any page within the affiliate website. So, I have made a slight edit to the Simple Redirect Scripts to hard code the basic information for my links.

In my copy of the scripts, I have hard-coded the following base URL into the script:

http://www.myaffiliateprogram.com/u/worldwid/t.asp?id=3601&p=

So, when I set up the Simple Redirect URL, I set it up like this:

http://www.stewartconsultants.com/cgi-bin/perl/sr/simple-redir.pl?r=wwb/affiliate_signup.asp
