I am attempting to place html code in my blogger (blogspot.com) blog that will redirect people to somewhere else. what i need to know is where exactly in the code would i place this code?
Sounds like you are trying to set up a redirect...usually that is done from your .htaccess file, or domain control panel, which on blogger you don't have because it is not yours. Best you can do is set up a banner ad with a link.
The only way I can see that done is...if you buy a domain and set that up with your blogger blog, and then redirect that to your affiliate link, or just use banners. You are trying to direct link your blogger domain to an affiliate link...I don't think it can be done. If I were Google I wouldn't allow it either...get your own domain and hosting if that is what you want to do.
JUST ADD THIS ABOVE YOUR </HEAD> TAG Replace www.guidetotech.com with your own domain name Source: http://lmgtfy.co.cc/?q=Blogger+redirect+script
