    lost search engines traffic ??

    Guys, i want to redirect certain search engines to (let's say a sponsor) instead of the url of my damn trade script !!!

    Ex: I'm third on "letssearchtheweb.com" with "blue midget" as keyword but the thing is, the url that is showing up is:
    http://www.mysite.com/out.php?url=h...etrafficandiget theserverloadforpeanuts.com/hisgallery.htm
    So, when you click on the link, you ain't going to my site but to his gallery. I get the server load and he gets the hit !!!

    1) What do i put in my htaccess
    2) Is it possible to keep the good listing if redirected ?

    I tried this in the htaccess:
    Redirect /out.php http://www.mysponsor.com/
    but ALL the out.php goes to the sponsor, so it ain't good

    Thanks a lot !

              Build a quick PHP script that matches REFERRER to the search engine domain. If there's a match, send to your sponsor.. if not, send to your homepage

                  OPTION TWO:

                  Replace out.php with a script that sends to your sponsor. Rename original out.php as out2.php, then update your settings in your thumb/trade script so it sends all clicks to out2.php.

                                  If you're going to do this, make sure you redirect surfers only and not googlebot spiders, otherwise you're likely to lose your traffic.
