Displaying Different Home Page Depending on Inbound URL

Different Homepage for different inbound ref URL?

[Chief]

We use referral codes for each different keyword used in the PPC search engines.

Is there a way to make our homepage (index) display different content depending on the inbound reference code used?

For example a click to www.anysite.com/ref?1 would show a different homepage than www.anysite.com/ref?2

ANY IDEAS, TIPS?

Thanks

Hi,

Actually it's very easy. You'd need to use a server-side programming language like PHP. (maybe you could do it with JS though..?)

Pseudo Code

[pre]
<?
if($_GET['ref'])=="value1") {
 show this page 
} else show that page
?>[/pre]

But would a search engine concider this cloaking?

It's not cloaking, because your originating url is different with the addition of the variables.
