Any known issues using .htaccess to create a re-direct??


Is there any known issues with using .htaccess to create a re-direct to our affiliate links?

Do some sponsors/software trackers lose this code in translation?
Are any clicks lost?


Anyone have any real-world input?

IE: mypornsite.com/hand-jobs redirects to: handjobs4life.com/track/OTT6MTB2OjEy/ (NATS system example)



Thanks.

I do it all the time, example: http://asylumx.com/cam_sites/vsex Sometimes the referrer shows as null, still tracks though.

There are other options like yourls http://yourls.org/ where you can run your own url shortener.

order allow,deny
deny from 192.168.44.201
deny from all

Thanks for the info.

not all sponsors track it the same

Always test. :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

If you use Google apps for domains you can use Google Short Links from labs. Example: http://x.asylumx.com/chloereeceryder

You can also use PHP, it's "lighter" and easier to manage for multiple links. Original link should normally validate, but always check on it.

I did think about this, but a quick re-direct would be super simple for our basic network.
