Its not supposed to HIDE it. You dont want to do that anyway... hide it that is.

If someone simply wants to redirect, that can be done in CPanel, under Domains, then Redirects.

Re: How to Redirect & Cloak a a url

This is why I LOVE VodaHost and this forum. I did it with my http://ourjourneytolife.com/**.html page and it redirected straight to my affiliate link. Question is, in order for the SEOs spider to notice and catapult me high, if I were to METATAGS in the PAGE PROPERTIES KEYWORDS that are in the redirected page itself, will it pick up my 02.html pg? Thanks you guys are fabulous!!!

Sometimes we want to redirect or cloak a url, the below code is very useful for these purposes.

1) Open up a new BlueVoda page
2) Right mouse click on the blank page and select Page HTML
3) Insert the above code "Between Head Tag" as shown below



4) Change the abc.com to your desired destination url
5) Name, Save and Publish

Your Done!

I created a page called sunflower, you can call it whatever you like.When I uploaded sunflower to my public_html folder the end result was the below url.

www.vodahost.com/sunflower.html

Re: How to Redirect & Cloak a a url

I have followed the instructions & it forwards my page properly, but it does not mask it.

The page to be forwarded is http://www.ovariancystshealed.info/ocnm.html and the destination url is http://valden.ovarian.hop.clickbank.net/

I assumed that when forwarded, the browser would still show http://www.ovariancystshealed.info/ocnm.html rather than the affiliate link. Why is it not masked?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Voda,
I currently use Wordpress and my html screen does not look like what you are showing. How would I determine where to make the necessary change? This is what the top of my html page looks like.

Upload/Insert


Thanks Sherri

This tip is for using blue voda. You cannot change this in wordpress in this manner. You will need to edit your templates to accomplish this.

Re: How to Redirect & Cloak a a url

I have a couple of redirect questions I would like assistance with please.


Question 1. Can I have an active domain with my complete control over the index/home page and other additional Blue Voda published pages but then redirect a sub domain of that domain to an affiliate website?

Question 2. If I redirect the main domain URL (therefore loosing complete control over my domain) to my affiliate website, will the search engines recognize and index my URL or will they only see the affiliate (duplicate content) site?


Examples:

I have a domain http://www.mydomain.com that has my own Blue Voda template published on it (index page).

Then I create a sub domain http://www.subdomain.mydomain.com.

Then I use the sub domain as a permanent redirect for an affiliate website such as http://www.affiliatesite.com/myaffiliatename but still have my main domain http://www.mydomain.com to do with as I please.


Does this work?
