question for you guys...

i have a site called "siteA.com" and i don't want to block my referring URL. instead, i'd like to show a different referring url let's call it "siteB.com"

i own both siteA.com and siteB.com

how can i show siteB.com as a referring URL when clicks are coming from siteA.com

i don't think this would work right? click on a link from siteA that contains siteB's cloaked link so it then automatically directs to affiliate offer. would the affiliate offer show siteA or siteB as the referring URL?

hope that makes sense!

Thanks!
 


If someone clicks on a link on SiteA.com, and that link is a redirection on SiteB.com, then the referring URL will be SiteB.com.

if you're looking to spoof referrers, that's a whole 'nother story. but possible ;)
 
thanks for the response...the thing is...i checked the cookie that was being set and it showed siteA as the referring URL. not SiteB as i wanted.

so i have a php redirect link on siteA that contains the cloaked affiliate link from siteB when then automatically goes to the affilate offer. so you would have to be quick to spot the siteB being loaded (or have a slow internet connection).
 
redirect on siteB is just your normal php redirect.

hey NC, got any tips on if that's possible?

so you're saying on siteB's link, have it like wait 3 seconds before re-directing to affilate offer would make siteB the referral url?
Click to expand...

Try this and let us know if siteB is the referrer.

Code: 
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function delayer(){
    window.location = "affiliateURLhere"
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setTimeout('delayer()', 0)">
</html>
