Quick Redirect Question...

No redirect there. The '10 seconds' was not a "you will be redirected..." message, but a quantifier on how long it would take, MAX (I HOPE!), for you to answer their little 'poll'. See the http://www.wickedfire.com/affiliate-marketing/15247-excellent-use-landing-page.html discussion for more on this page.
Let me try this again, after looking a little deeper....
Basically, there is no code/form/whatever. Your answer does not matter, sorta like the flash banner ads saying "shoot the rapper" or "spank the monkey." If they get you to click, you get the same result for each answer.
Page 1: Simple HREF IMG | HREF IMG | HREF IMG | HREF IMG with all HREF pointing to the same place.
Page 2: Show spinning disc and 'wait' message, then after a few seconds, a javascript image replacement says 'oh lookie, we found a GREAT deal for ya!' and then a timeout is set to redirect 3 seconds after that, to....
Page 3: The affiliate offer landing page.

Thanks for the reply. I realize that the answer doesn't matter. Basically, I want to do something similar. Like the user puts some info into a form, it doesn't matter what they put it, because my landing page will "find it."
I'm wondering how they do the delayed redirect. I want my page to perform the "searching" for a couple of seconds, and then the "Congratulations" for about 3 seconds, and then redirect to the offer page.
I should probably just google this when I get a few minutes. I figured it might just be an extremely simple line of code that someone could post for me.
Thanks again,
Scott

The lines of code they are using seem mighty similar to the other lines of code that others are using, so I think maybe they 'borrowed' also... 
If you want to make your landing page look all Web 2.0-ish here's an online AJAX spinner generator: Ajaxload - Ajax loading gif generator
The code inside the "results.php" of that landing page might be structured something like this:
This will display the intermediate "calculating best offer" page for ten seconds and then redirect to the target offer page.
Code:
<?php
echo '<table><tr><td><p><b>"calculating your best offer" text & graphics is displayed here</b></p></tr></td></table>';
sleep(10);
echo '<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="7;url=http://www.somesite.com/affiliate-link.html">';
?>
you can do a
Javascript
<?
sleep(10);
echo 'location.replace("http://www.destination.com")';
?>
No PHP just a straight 10 second delayed redirect
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;url=http://www.destination.com">
another all php redirect
<?
sleep(10);
header("Location: htttp://www.destination.com");
?>
and there's more but that should get the job done for you.
