Referral redirect script question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 13.2005

A large number of my site visitors are coming to my homepage via links on three or four other sites. I want to redirect these visitors from my homepage to a subpage on my site. I’ve been looking for a script and found the one pasted below; however, I’m unsure how to use it. The developer’s instructions just said paste it into my code, but I have to assume that somewhere I have to identify the three referring sites that I want to redirect, and the subpage on my site I want to redirect to.

Can anyone help me better understand this script?

<!– ONE STEP TO INSTALL REFERRER REDIRECT:

  • 1. Copy the coding into the HEAD of your HTML document –>

    refarray[‘yahoo.com’] = “page.html?from=yahoo”;
    refarray[‘lycos.com’] = “page.html?from=lycos”;
    refarray[‘infoseek.com’] = “page.html?from=infoseek”;
    for (var i in refarray) {
    if (document.referrer.indexOf(i) != -1) window.location.replace(refarray[i]);
    }
    // End –>
    </script>

    @Mr_JJun 13.2005 — At the array index such as

    refarray['excite.com'] = "page.html?from=excite";

    change [B]excite.com[/B] to your refering site and [B]page.html[/B] to your redirect page.

    refarray['[B]referingSite1[/B]'] = "[B]redirect1.html[/B]"

    if you need the query string then just add it on.

    do the same for the other indexes, those you don't need just delete

    @lightwaveauthorJun 13.2005 — Thank you. This confirms what I suspected, but I didn't want to mess it up without asking an expert. I'll give it a try!

    Thanks.
