Programmers, what is the simplest way to do this?

**SmokeyTheBear** · 08-24-2006, 08:23 AM

htaccess

try this

save this as .htaccess upload it to an empty folder

rewriteengine on
rewriterule ^(.*)\.asp$ http://$1 [nc]

then you would call it like this http://yoursite.com/folder/google.com.asp and it would go to google

You mean something like this?

Just a php file that redirects. You can get fancy with counting the clicks, blocking robots etc. as well.

Ever since the ARS thing and then HawgsCash, all my links on every site go thru a script like that.. dropping sites/programs and redirecting is fast. i.e. I have 1 set of central datafiles per server so I just change them and every one of my sites on that server is now updated.

and if the sponsor happens to go under, you can redirect all his traffic elsewhere within minutes

Would you mind posting the contents of said file? With just like one example url left in. I am clueless in php.

You could also put in to each folder a straight index.html page with a redirect such as:

<html><head><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.google.com" /></head><body></body></html>

I do the same thing but it's all mysql based... Before I got StatsRemote it was nice to grab a quick summary of all my outclicks for the day...

Pay someone to do it.

Yeah.. I'm moving all my links to a mysql database as well... But I don't like relying on it so instead I'll be having it generate my datafiles from that as a source... clicks will be saved in text files and added to the mysql database every few minutes.

not sure how this post happened...

Well mine is a little complicated as I go to random POTD sites etc. if there's an invalid site name and I also insert campaign codes on the fly..

but a simple version would be something like this

Code:

<?php
	$q=strtolower(trim($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]));
	$url["adultpaymaster"]="http://www.adultpaymaster.com/";
	$url["nastydollars"]="http://www.nastydollars.com/";
	if($url[$q] != ""){
		@header("Location: $url[$q]");
		exit;
	}
	@header("Location: http://somedeafulturl.com/");
?>

name it index.php.. drop it on some directory like /go2/

call them like /go2/?nastydollars

Same here Tempest - everything is logged on a per server basis and redirected. Another extension to that - tho does need planning and work - is that all "content" re promo is served centrally from each sever to all domains on that server - basically "web blocks"/creatives which can be anything - 1000's of em

Advantages being, easy new site development (just write the "shell" content), any sponsor can be removed for all domains in mins - or more added etc.

BTW.. Nice constuctive thread this - makes a change from crap

Can I use this without disabling the back button? perhaps open in a new window
