Faking Header to not say page but to say the domain

[wfernley]

I have links on various pages of my site that go to external links. I would like the referrer that the other sites see to be my domain name and not the actual page that the user came from.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You would have to have all your outbound links pass through a redirect script. Then, the referrer that the browser sends to the new site will be the URL of the redirect script, not the original page.

Your links will end up looking like: http://www.example.com/outbound.php?link=http://www2.example.com/something/index.html

And then the stats for the website I am sending them to would show http://www.example.com/outbound.php as the referrer right? And not, http://www.example.com/outbound.php?link=http://www2.example.com/something/index.html

No, it would be the whole URL, including query string. Of course, the receiving site already knows they landed on the page in the query string, so it shouldn't matter if they see that in their referrer logs.

Cool. Thanks :)
