Some sites don't support header redirects?

So I have noticed that some sponsor programs do not work with header redirects...

What I mean by this is if I directly link to a sponsor (with tracking codes) the user will end up on the target page with sponsor codes intact...

If you route the request through your own page, (e.g. link.php?link_id=3) which performs a header redirect so you can track it... the user ends up on a page without the tracking code and usually a different landing...

An example would be BCash4You...

I noticed a lot of people posting ridiculously low conversion rates for their sites. To the point where it wasn't even feasible. These sites present VERY well and have very high end content. However when I header redirect they always end up on Watch4Beauty's homepage regardless of linking code and regardless of the site you're sending them to.

There are other sponsors which do this as well and this could definitely explain the abysmal conversion rates many of you have been experiencing.

Post an actual url you are doing this with, it may be that you need to url encode it or something.

It wouldn't affect ratios because if the surfer didn't get tracked, he won't end up in your stats in the first place.

A second option would be to use a meta tag redirect instead.
You can check the cookies to see if they are set correctly when you use a header redirect.

That's nonsense, sorry.

Assuming you're talking about a 302 redirect I can't see how the landing page would be able to detect whether (or how many times) a click had been redirected before arriving there...
