How to Redirect & Cloak a a url

Re: How to Redirect & Cloak a a url

Reading this post reminds me of a query I've had for a while. I've called one domain aboriginalarttreasures.com it was only after I got the name that I realised there was a problem as some people type in only one "t". After I joined Vodahost & saw the re-direction option I was wondering if there is a simple way I can get people to my site if they type the wrong spelling in?

Re: How to Redirect & Cloak a a url

I'm afraid not. You see, if they type the wrong address in the browser, they simply get a 404 page not found message.
The only way this could be done is the following: You purchase the aboriginalartreasures.com domain (only one t) and you add it as addon in your account. Then you set a redirect from this, to your real (double t) domain.

Re: How to Redirect & Cloak a a url

Ok
This was supposed to be easy but I'm still having problems with this.
I opened a blank page.
pasted in it:
<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3093605-10358126">

which is my affiliate url.

saved the page as keen.php and published it

on my site I directed the link to www.mydomain.com/keen.php so that no one will be able to see my affiliate link but the end result is that it brings me to www.psychiccenter.com/keen.php which is not good - I don't need the "keen.php" add on after the "www.psychiccener.com"
what can I do ?

please take a look at the link at the bottom of this page (the one that says "Keen").

Thanks.

At the moment, This: http://www.psychiccenter.com
is being redirected to this: http://www.psychiccenter.com /TelephonyUS/phone/welcome.aspx
so where ever you have placed the .php page is being bypassed.

Your php cloaking page url is conflicting with another site so just change the
keen.php to something else meaningful..............

I don't think I quite understand - just change the name of the php file to something else ?

Re: How to Redirect &amp; Cloak a a url

change this : www.mydomain.com/keen.php

to something like this: www.mydomain.com/somethingelsehere.php

Re: How to Redirect &amp; Cloak a a url

ok I did all steps im assuming correctly EXCEPT the one that says:

Now upload the file to your domain and place a link to this file on your webpage. when people now click on the link on your page they will be directed to the file we've just made and then instantly redirected to the affilaite site through your link.

First I FTP'ed the file, "affiliate.html" to my public_html folder

Then it says to:

Place a link to this file on your webpage. when people now click on the link on your page they will be directed to the file we've just made and then instantly redirected to the affilaite site through your link.

-So I opened Blue Voda and double clicked my link to change the URL to:

ftp://74.86.118.25/public_html/affiliate.html

I then published and tested the link but I get this:

ftp://74.86.118.25/public_html/affiliate.html Internet Explorer cannot find this webpage.

-So what did I do wrong?


-Thanks in advance!

Think maybe it should be "http://" ??

Re: How to Redirect &amp; Cloak a a url

The link should actually be something like

http://74.86.118.25/~cpusername/public_html/affiliate.html

where cpusername is your real control panel username

Re: How to Redirect &amp; Cloak a a url

I just had to take out the words REFRESH in what you posted before this because my page was refreshing every second! LOL

Re: How to Redirect &amp; Cloak a a url

The correct URL is

http://74.86.118.25/~kxjmnwvl/affiliate.html

However, if it can't be found, there must be some typing mistake or the file does not exist OR its permissions are set to something else than the correct 644

Re: How to Redirect &amp; Cloak a a url

Well, I was able to use the instructions to forward my domain, but it is not masking.

my domain is http://www.discoveryourprosperity.com. I am forwarding to http://www.ezleadcapture.com/member/deang2.htm. The forwarding feature is working, as you'll see. The masking is not.

My META TAG looks like this: <META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0;URL=http://www.ezleadcapture.com/member/deang2.htm">

Can anyone see if there is a mistake in my set up, or have other suggestions? Thanks. Dean.
