Yes, redirects can be used for a lot of things, and if someone else is controlling yours, or has been, you should check them. If you want to open a support ticket on my support site (ezseonews.com/support), I’ll see if I can help. However, a quick check would be to click on the links on your site and see if they register in the affiliate/leads program.

Can you help me, i have been reading your article with interest. I have a web site that has just been transferred to a new host and i have redesigned the site. The site was producing 2 to 3 leads a day not a lot but kept me going. My web guy put redirects in place in the access file and now i am getting no enquiries at all.

I have mentioned the problem but he does not seem to think this is anything. My main keys words since developing the new wordpress site have actually gone up slightly, but alas no leads!!

What i am asking is if my .htaccess file could be transferring leads elsewhere. Sorry to ask but you seem to be a mine of information on the htaccess file.

Kind regards

Thanks for the tip. I have close to 2000 EPN affiliate links on my site. That will be some big .htaccess file! Is there any trick for this? I don’t know, a second, third .htaccess file somehow linked?

What a great tutorial!

This is such a easy and straightforward way to fix a gigantic 302 redirect problem I was having due to uncloaked affiiate links.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

(And damn all those computer geeks with their stupid complex code and explanations I can’t understand)
