Each link is in it's own record along with the affiliate name. thx, Dave Is there a similar script that will support links stored in MySQL that are displayed on pages via a php echo from a recordset?

Therefore, these links will not be considered neither outbound links nor inbound links. In what regards the search engines, you have a lot of links pointing nowhere... But, the solution is quite simple and you won't have to scrap all your code :) Before the line header("Location:".$links[$id]); add header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" ); And ta-da, your links are all SEO friendly.

Before the line

header(”Location:”.$links[$id]);

add

header( “HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently” );

It is likely processing the affiliate ID number and then dumping the user at their main page with a cookie set on the user’s system to notify their server that you directed them to the site. I have tested this method with URLs that are passing variables and it works just fine. Have you tried running that link on its own?
