    header("Location: http://www.tracemyip.org");
    ?>

    Referer is a HTTP request header by user agent (browser). Where as Location is HTTP response header by server. I think both will not work together, at least not from server side.

    
    User Agent <-- response -- Server (http://www.yourwebsite.com)
      Referer: http://www.msn.com //ignored?
      Location: http://www.tracemyip.org //follow this URL
    
    User Agent -- request --> Server (http://www.tracemyip.org)
      Referer: http://www.yourwebsite.com //I'm from this URL
    
    Code (markup):
    There are some attempts to modify Referer header on client side with Javascript. Not sure it will work though.

    Or may be <a href="http://www.tracemyip.org" rel="noreferrer"> would help?

    You can't do this for a bunch of good reasons.
