Detecting AOL browsers and re-directing them? - GoFuckYourself.com

jojojo · 03-22-2002, 04:01 PM

Hey everyone,

I have a site that is coming up in AOL searches...

I want to detect the AOL browser and send them somewhere else.

I know the DMOZ cheaters used to do this all the time when DMOZ data used to come up in AOL search...

does anyone know how to do this - I am assuming it can be done with javascript.

Thanks

I dunno if you can detect the browser (since it's just a modified version of MSIE), but you should be able to detect the AOL.com domain as a referrer using Javascript:

Last time I checked, the AOl browser worked better with graphics than netscape LOL, why do you want to redirect it?

I love my AOl surfers, at leasst I KNOW they have a fucking credit card, or theyre kids LOL
