Hi Steve,
I look forward to your post.
In your post could you please indicate what type of redirect you are referring to?
I know of 3 ways to redirect and none of them allow the referrer field to be set. The referer header is set by the client which is usually a browser.
If Internet Explorer is redirected using the location header (sometimes referred to as a 301 or 302 redirect) then the original referrer value is preserved.
If Internet Explorer is redirected by a html page using a meta refresh header then the referrer field is empty.
It is also empty for a javascript redirect from a html page.
I don't profess to know everything about redirects but I've done some searching on Google and have found several posts to technical forums which say it's impossible e.g. redirect + referer - PHP - Coding & Web.
I'd apprerciate it if you could clear this matter up as it has been suggested that the traffic you send is fake.
