I have tried your suggestion but can't get it to work. I have changed to code to read: --------------- "wikipedia" => "http://wikipedia.org" ); header( “HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently” ); header("Location:".$links[$id]); exit; ?> --------------- What have I missed? Thanks Fred Hi Stephan,

Thanks for adding to this awesome code and Studge thanks for sharing!!

I have tried your suggestion but can’t get it to work. I have changed to code to read:
—————
“wikipedia” => “http://wikipedia.org”
);

header( “HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently” );
header(“Location:”.$links[$id]);
exit;
?>
—————

What have I missed?

Thanks
Fred

On one of my websites i have just changed my redirect script that i have used over years to a javascript version loaded inside a noindex, nofollow page. the linkedsite.com will get backlink juice... now.. Redirect to <!-- window.location = "http://"; //--> The lastet update is that google can follow links over php header links.

When the affiliate link is followed, it should set a cookie that shows my affiliate code has brought this user to their site - the cookie lasts a set amount of time and any purchases made during this period would yield me a percentage (this is just an example of a typical affiliate system). After the link is already followed, it doesn't really matter what the user puts in the address bar since the cookie has been set. I think I understand what you are saying here.

If the user wants to remove this all he really needs to do is remove the affid=12345 in the url and hit enter. If i'm mistaken can someone please set me straight.

I'd like to use the script to power a number of "Like" buttons on our pages, but I don't want people to be able to artificially drive up the scores.
