Double Redirect

[Free_Man]

I am wondering:

Is it possible to have a double redirect script that would first direct a visitor through your affiliate links and then through a straight link (let's say they were both for overstock.com).

The reason I ask is because sometimes they offer direct deals you cannot link to as a webmaster...Now I have seen a couple sites that somehow many a redirect in the background to still get credit for the sale.

Any ideas or scripts for this?

It might be valuble.

That seems possible. Just wax some javascript on the problem. Open a new window with javascript and direct them through the affiliate link. Then have javascript in your orginal window load the staight link into the new window that has arrived at the site.

Takes two windows but should be easy to do.

Sounds good, I don't know how to go about that exactly though!

Perhaps someone here will code it for you. I would do it but I don't normally start coding with strangers for free. ;)

But I am sure you might be able to figure it out on your own.

You will need to lookup open and setTimeout. Those are the basic building blocks for this.
