Hi guys,
For some reason my referer urls arnt being passed to CJ from my website Kefalonia | Kefalonia Greece | Kefalonia Holidays .
If you see the Kefalonia Holiday Booking Guide section on the homepage and click Kefalonia Holidays you'll see that I use a meta refresh on the page (code included below) to direct people to thomson holidays via CJ.
For some reason this page is stripping the referer Url which has made CJ think i'm acting suspiciously as they dont know where the traffics from so i need to fix it.
Can anyone see what would be causing the problem - or suggest another refesh after 5 second method that I could try?
Thanks loads as always guys
Russ

I had the same problem a few weeks ago http://www.affiliates4u.com/forums/w...a-refresh.html
The problem with meta refresh is that it leaves it up to the browser to send referrer info or not, and both IE and Firefox do not send this. I also tried a javascript redirect which had the same problem.
In the end, for CJ links only, I had to change to a 302 redirect which put me back in compliance. If you do find another method I would be interested to know what it is.
Thanks Kevin,
Its a strange one - I thought a meta was the best way to do it and was stanadard practice in the aff world, didnt know it wouldnt pass the referer though.
I'll try a 302 now but I wonder if a php redirect would work if i set a page up, meta was so easy though as I set a 5 second timer before the re-direct so people could read the page, not sure how to do that with php
Cheers
Russ
Me too - I have been using it for the last year (and still do on all other networks) without any issues.Originally Posted by crazihos
As far as php goes, I use:
It does means you can't use your 'thank you' message on the way out.PHP Code:// 302 redirect
header("Location: {$affLink}"); /* Redirect browser */
exit();
