    Hi,

    I want to know if is possible to modify the address source for an link.
    Example :
    In mywebsite.com/post.php I have an link to yourwebsite.com.
    An visitor click on this link from mywebsite.com/post.php and arrive to your website. If you check your analytics you can see that visitor came from my website.
    Can be an solution to implement in my website that you can view other source for this visitor?

    I've tried to solve this with an url shortner. But traffic source is kept.

    Regards,
    Floryn

    This is an aspect of the web browser itself and not yours or any other server and is completely inaccurate. The user can program his web browser to put anything in the referrer header. There's no way to modify or accurately track the referring website.

    Thanks jestep for your response.
    Is possible to redirect visitors from some specified website refferer?
    Ex:
    Site A have a link to Site B homepage.
    All visitors comming from Site A are redirect to Site C. It is possible?
    In this case Site C have site B refferer, not site A.
