    Hello, will doing a domain redirect to my affiliate link disable the original referrer and new referre become my redirect domain?

    for example getting traffic from somewhere.com sending traffic to (my site redirectname www.bobsredirect.com - redirected to affiliate link example affiliatelinkswebesite.com

    will this now show that the referrer is my redirect bobsredirect.com name in there affiliatelinkswebesite.com google analytics?

    or will the referrer stil be somewhere.com , I assume the redirect changes the referrer to bobsredirect.com?

    much help appreciated
    thanks
