Redirect Script

[Vin]

Hi Guys,

I'm actually looking for a way to redirect links, to actually make it look like external links are inbound links (local links)

Can somebody help me out with a way to do this,

And preferably in a way where it is invisible to the adwords bot.

If it's a big job, I'm willing to pay for this.

Heey Icecube, thnx for your post. Actually I did.

Problem is, I need to put variables in it as well, to track keywords.

Right now, links are going like this blabla.com

But I would them to go www.mydomain.com/blabla/index.php?kwd=keyword
Where this would actually redirect them to blabla.com

How can I set this up, and will this be invisible to the adwords bot ?

well this is for static links, if you have a limited number of keywords you can add them in the db and place the relative static links but otherwise, if you need keywords to be placed dynamically you need to write your own script
this is how you can grab keywords from the url and reuse them in your html

THnx

We're already doing that,

Just need to find a way to redirect a url as well as giving the kwd with that.

But i think that can be handled by a regular redirect.php file.

Or will that be visible to the adwords bot where your way is not ?

You can modify your .htaccess file so that a link like www.mydomain.com/blabla/index/keyword would actually redirect to www.mydomain.com/blabla/index.php?kwd=keyword . I believe I covered it in that tutorial.

Pay attention to the .htaccess mod.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^lindex/([/_0-9a-zA-Z-]+)$ index.php?id=$1

(you could replace index with something a little more seo friendly)

edit: I always disallow this directory to be index by bots using the robots.txt file.
