RedireQt ::: Description of Redirection methods

1. 'HTTP status code 301 (default)' - standard redirect link

Passes the referrer through.

2. 'Single Meta Refresh' - another standard redirect link

Meta refresh is a method of instructing a web browser to automatically refresh the current web page after a given time interval, using an HTML meta element with the http-equiv parameter set to "refresh" and a content parameter giving the time interval in seconds. By setting the refresh time interval to zero (or a very low value), this allows meta refresh to be used as a method of URL redirection. The method hides the referrer, i.e. it sends a blank referrer. But they say that in some cases the browser can leak the referrer.

< meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.redireqt.com" />"

3. 'Double Meta Refresh' - totally hides the referrer

Double Meta Refresh will remove the referrer and make it blank for sure. The first meta refresh follows to the php script that implements the second one. The second meta refresh checks whether the referrer is clear. In such a case it redirects to the target url, but in the case the referrer is still not empty it redirects to the main page of RedireQt.

4. 'Framed Double-Meta Refresh'- totally hides the referrer and the url of the page.

Double Meta Refresh is done in a frame. A single HTML frame contains the target page that implements DMR. For a frame redirect, the browser displays the URL of the frame document and not the URL of the target page in the URL bar.

5. 'Meta-Server Hybrid' - variation on standard redirect

Achieves the same effect as single meta refresh by issuing an HTTP refresh header:

HTTP/1.1 200 ok
Refresh: 0; url=http://www.example.com/

Referrer Spoofing Group

6. 'Javascript Remote Spoof' - hides original referrer

It hides the original referrer replacing it by the predefined url on RedireQt (http://RedireQt.com/links_go.php). This is made by automatically submitting of two forms that leads to change of the referrer.

7. 'Framed Javascript Remote Spoof' - hides original referrer and original url

Javascript Remote Spoof is done in a frame. A single HTML frame contains the target page that implements js spoof. For a frame redirect, the browser displays the URL of the frame document and not the URL of the target page in the URL bar.

Referrer Passthrough Group

8. 'Server Redirects' - allows you to tell search engines why you're redirecting

In the HTTP protocol a redirect is a response with a status code beginning with 3 that induces a browser to go to another location.
Status codes for redirection:

300 multiple choices (e.g. offer different languages)
301 moved permanently
302 found (originally temporary redirect, but now commonly used to specify redirection for unspecified reason)
303 see other (e.g. for results of cgi-scripts)
307 temporary redirect

All of these status codes require that the URL of the redirect target be given in the Location: header of the HTTP response.

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.example.org/

9. 'Simple Frame' - hides original url

Creates a single HTML frame that contains the target page:

< frameset rows="100%">
 < frame src="http://www.example.com/">
< /frameset>
< noframes>
 Please follow link!
< /noframes>

For a frame redirect, the browser displays the URL of the frame document and not the URL of the target page in the URL bar.

Cookie link use

10. 'Redirect with cookie link' - allows you to bypass bad sales pages.

This method also known as cookie stuffing or cookie stuffer will drop your affiliate cookie, without actually displaying the affiliate site. This method could be used to bypass an affiliate sales page and send the user from your own sales page directly to the cart page of the affiliate product, while letting you collect your own leads.
