HELP: Tracking the Number Redirect Jumps or similar type of script
So I have been delaying a major project I have been working on with the help of Megan who does all of our internal PHP development.
The project we are working on involves arbitrage which involves hundreds of CPA Offers into my database. The CPA Offers would come from a wide variety of sources (networks, direct sources etc). The thought of managing this database could prove to be more time that what it is worth considering the number of expired and redirected offers across the various sources we would be pulling offers from.
Currently the database is configured to serve CPA Offers but without the ability to TRACK the number of redirect jumps from the day it is loaded and check that daily against the current number of redirects (http headers) or something similar. I feel that this beast may never be unleashed to it's full potential.
My thoughts were to try one of the following methods:
- Track total number of http redirects daily (flag changes)
- Monitor destination URL strings
What are your thoughts?
Have you got any different ideas on how to make this work?
Any suggestions?
