This may sound like a newbie question coming from me because I've not tried this before. I have a decent traffic name that has to do with high-end PC's. I have an affiliate account with Alienware. How do I redirect this domain's traffic to Alienware so the visitors wind up there with my affiliate code? Do I just enter the URL in the domain forwarding section of the CP? Or do I have to set up a page to redirect from? Any help is appreciated.

Search for .Httaccess redirect. Thats the best and secure method to do it.

I do not know by heart how, but I just search around when I need something.

<head>
<title>Meta Redirect Code</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=https://www.affiliate.com">
</head>

OR if you have cpanel or any control panel most have a thing that lets you set it up that way which i think is .htaccess anyways.

OK, so I do need to set up an index page or something and not just set a URL in the control panel at the registrar where the domain is held. Thanks.

I guess you can do that too.

AFAIK http-equiv="refresh" and Redirect headers (.htaccess) have a different impact on search engines (and browsers: eg. breaks the back button capability :p )

In a .htaccess file, you can easily enter:
Redirect / http://www.namepros.com/
(will redirect / to http://www.namepros.com)

An alternative is to redirect every request to a specific page:
RedirectMatch .* http://www.savespell.com/
(will redirect anything to http:/...)

I think .htaccess is much cleaner than refreshing to another page from the HTML file. The real differences and impact should be known by a SEO expert :)

boo!
Hope I did not scare you too much :D
