I'm using <? Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" ); Header( "Location: http://www.DOMAIN-I-WANT-TO-SEND-TO.com" ); ?> to manage my affilitate traffic so when i want to change the affiliate program i want to send traffic to, i just change that domain.. but is there any problems with changing the url often? i had www.mydomain.com/linktracker18.php directing my traffic to one site using the 301 redirect.. and then i changed the site it was going to... but when i type in mydomain.com/linktracker18 it is still going to the first site... why is that? is it because its cached or something? is this going to cause any problems?
also.. is a 301 redirect the easiest way to manage my traffic by niche? have like niche1.php niche2.php etc.. and have each of them have a 301 redirect to the place i want to send my niche1 traffic to etc?
I pulled up the headers received thorugh wget, and it didn't send a redirect header at all? You sure the code is getting executed?
the domain i used as an example is not a real domain... not mine anyways... i was just using it as an example
Well, can't offer that much help. But it is perfectly legitimate for a browser or even a isp proxt to cache a 301 redirect as it is considered a *permanent* redirect hence not expected to change. If you list the real domain, then I may be able to offer more help. But, do what I did, write a script that requests the headers from your url and see if you get what you expect.
