If anyone can help me with the code I need to redirect a domain name I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm just getting started advertising and I've purchased a domain name that I want to use in my marketing. I would rather use my own short domain name instead of the long affilliate URL (that's the best way to do it from what I gather).
I need the script that I can use on my server that will redirect them to my affilliate link when they click on my domain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

If you use an Apache webserver then you do this with a few lines of code in the .htaccess file, found in the web root. Google for a tutorial on this; and don't forget to use a 301 redirect (rather than a 302 redirect or a meta redirect).

I used to have hired webhosting on a remote machine. I had no access to config files, but had many domains on the mahine. So I wrote the following script.
If you are using webpage forwarding to your donmain use the FromPage variable. If you are using domain name lookup use the Location variable.
Basically each forward is two lines of code:
Check what is requesting:
else if (Location == "http://www.arcadegames.co.uk/" )
Forward to appropreate area:
location.href = "/cgi-bin/aspvote/arcadegames.asp";
Full script, you will have to put your domain name(s) forwarding location(s) into it and remove mine:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
<SCRIPT>
function Main()
{
var FromPage;
var Location;
FromPage = document.referrer;
FromPage = FromPage.toLowerCase();
Location = location.href;
Location = Location.toLowerCase();
if (FromPage.charAt(FromPage.length - 1) != '/')
FromPage += "/";
if (Location == "http://www.jadab.co.uk/" Location == "http://www.jadab.com/" )
location.href = "/cgi-bin/aspvote/jadab.asp";
else if (Location == "http://www.jason-birch.co.uk/" Location == "http://www.jason-birch.com/" )
location.href = "/cgi-bin/aspvote/jason-birch.asp";
else if (Location == "http://www.urababe.co.uk/" Location == "http://www.urababe.com/" )
location.href = "/cgi-bin/aspvote/urababe.asp";
else if (Location == "http://www.arcadegames.co.uk/" )
location.href = "/cgi-bin/aspvote/arcadegames.asp";
else if (Location == "http://www.arcadepinball.co.uk/" )
location.href = "/cgi-bin/aspvote/arcadepinball.asp";
else if (Location == "http://www.classiccomputer.co.uk/" )
location.href = "/cgi-bin/aspvote/classiccomputer.asp";
else if (Location == "http://www.projectutopia.co.uk/" )
location.href = "/cgi-bin/aspvote/projectutopia.asp";
else
location.href = "/cgi-bin/aspvote/palmisland.asp";
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY OnLoad="Main()">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Search engines may not properly follow a javascript redirect.
Be prepared for some very odd results for your sites in the SERPs.

Place links on the page so search engines find the real roots of your website.

I appreciate everyone's feedback. And I thought it was going to be easy. Thanks Birchj, I'll try that code.
Scott.

The 301 redirect is a LOT eqasier to do.... and more effective.
