URL Redirect question.Please help!

Can someone help me understand this..

Right now I am sending traffic to Website #2, but suppose I want to hide the referring website that the traffic is coming from, so I thought I'd do a URL redirect.

If I send traffic to Website #1 and the traffic is automatically redirected to Website #2 from Website #1, will Website #1 than be the referrer?

This sounds like an SAT question I know..i'm confused.

 

ok so you want all the people from website 1 to go to website 2, make a index.php file in website 1 root and enter the following code, its very simple

<?php
header('Location: http://www.website 2 link.com/');
?> 

Code (markup):

 

Yah, I know how to do it, so I guess the answer to my question is yes, Website #1 would be the referrer?

 

I believe it would because all the impressions will be going onto website 2

 

Yes, webite #1 will be the refferer as it is redirecting the traffic.

 

Yup! Website #1 will be the referer. In most browsers today support site redirection, website #1 will be sent in the headers as referer. But just a note: There are still some outdated browsers which will send blank referer header to website #2.
