PR effect when using GET

[Metalkid]

Our partners are currently linking to our page with a get parameter (eg http://www.oursite.php?from=partner). Obviously we use this to be able to measure the traffic we are receiving (we dont want to rely on refferal).Anybody knows how much PR effect we loose with this method ?My experience has shown that anything with a ? in the url doesn't get spidered as well.All your backlinks are dynamic. It does not count for PR, bcos they all will be mostly 0, except some cases.Can you tell me your url??Check out this page, http://www.monkeymeter.com/citystats.phpand then look at all of the links for the city stats. Both pages were created the same week or so almost a year ago.Quote:That was basically my point. zero pr.PR can be passed on through these. Simply setup a 301 redirect in your script that sends http://www.domain.com/?from=whoever to http://www.domain.com.Just have it detect if there's a "from" parameter on the URL. If there is, log it, do your thing, then then simply forward to http://www.domain.com.Simple as that, PR will get passed along.nickybangkok wrote:Yeah, a 301 redirect is a "permanently moved" redirective. That's the way you'd normally forward several different domains to the same site, or a document that's moved from one domain to another, and all the PR from existing links is passed on to the final destination.You could do it with mod_rewrite in the .htaccess file, but it'll be much more reliable (with regard to logging your referrers) actually taking the information with PHP, writing it out to MySQL, or whatever you want to, then have PHP send the 301 redirect header.
