Internet 
One thing you may run into if you're trying to advertise on MySpace is that they "re-write" your links and ask the clicking user if they're sure they want to go there. No problem that it warns them, but some destinations are blocked by MySpace altogether. There is a way to get around this. All one has to do is create a static .php file on their own server (of course, if you don't have your own server, this will be impossible) or hosted site. The file will contain your redirect code with your link embedded into it. Pretty simple stuff. I know it works, because I've tried it myself.
Here is the method in detail:
- Create a file of whatever name you choose, ex: mylink.php.
- Now, insert this php redirect code into that file:
<?php
header("Location: http://YOUR_URL");
?> - That is all that is in the file. Do not include standard HTML header information.
- Create your link on MySpace, i.e.
<a href="http://the_url_to_the_page_you_just_created.com" target="new">My Link Name</a>
That's it! You're done! Let me know if you don't get it. I will be happy to explain.
