If I have a domain with good Search engine placement for a keyword, What is the best way/tool to use to have the user click the link in Google and have the page auto forward to the affiliates order page? What method works and doesn't effect Search Engine placement? Or is there such thing, because I have seen some people high in Google, that have auto forward and when I click stop real fast and read the code the characters look like gibberish...So is there any way to do this and keep your placement in the engines?

Thanks guys.:1zhelp:
 


There is definitely a technique for this... I'm not sure but it might be the "metarefresh" php code that you put in your header tags...

Anyone else know?
 
I kinda know that method already, Does that hurt your search engine rankings if Google sees it eventually? There has to be a better way... Anyone know the way I mentioned in my original post?
 
Don't use iframes, your cookie may not be set properly in some browsers.
Don't use meta refresh, Google can follow those.

Instead, use Javascript. Don't use window.location= because Google will get pissed. Use window.location.replace as it doesn't fuck with the back button and you will do fine :)

window.location.replace("http://www.example.com");

PHP redirect is also fine, as Google can't see it.
 
If you do a PHP redirect or a javascript redirect will you still be able to have a good SEO'd web page thats ranked in Google or will you lose your ranking because its just a page with a redirect?
 
From what I've heard(this may not be the most recent info, correct me if I'm wrong), Google can't follow Javascript redirects(unless it suspects you of sneaky cloaking) so it will not index the page you're redirecting to. You will want to have some SE-friendly content on the page with the redirect.
With a PHP redirect, Google follows it, but it doesn't know you're redirecting, so you will want SE-friendly content on the page you are redirecting to.
 
without using a meta refresh you're passin the refer string from the source. Thanks for the free keyword list on what's converting for you :D
 
nstead, use Javascript. Don't use window.location= because Google will get pissed. Use window.location.replace as it doesn't fuck with the back button and you will do fine

Can you give an example f the exact code to use if using either javascript or a php redirect... for those of us who don't speak code?
 
Code: 
<script type=[COLOR=#FF0000]"text/javascript"[/COLOR]>
[COLOR=#000000][/COLOR]     window.location.replace[COLOR=#66CC66]([/COLOR]sURL,[COLOR=#000000][B]true[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#66CC66])[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#000000][B]</script>[/B][/COLOR]

The TRUE parameter replaces your redirect source with the redirect destination in browser history.
 
This has worked fine, but after reading the above it may have flaws:

<html>
<head>
<title>Blah 1...</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://internetisseriousbusiness.com" target="_blank>
<script>
url='http://internetisseriousbusiness.com';
if(document.images) { top.location.replace(url); }
else { top.location.href=url; }
</script>
</head>
<body>Loading
<a href="blah blah" target="_blank>Click if Stuck</a>...
