Best way to redirect traffic so it looks like its coming from a certain source

basically what i want to do is send traffic to my website (www.website1.com) and then redirect it to another website (www.website2.com). i will be buying traffic from a source (www.website0.com) and i want website2 to get this traffic but i want it to look like its coming from website1.

 

Simplest method

$url = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
switch($url['host']) {
    case 'google.com':$redirect="someurl_when_traffic_is_from_google"; break;
    case 'yahoo.com':$redirect="someurl_when_traffic_is_from_yahoo"; break;
    case 'msn.com':$redirect="someurl_when_traffic_is_from_msn"; break;
    default: #unknown referer
         $redirect = "http://www.mysite.com"; 
}

header("Location: $redirect");

Code (markup):

I hope it helps.

are you sure this works? i tried the the "location" method and it still appeared as if the traffic came from the original source. what is the reason for the ysm, google, switch code?

 

function header might not be working, becuase of some character or text already sent before it.

regards

 

what does that mean?

 

put it at the very top of your page i would try...

 

this method doesn't work. still shows referring site as the other site.
