URL redirects and google

Hi,

The redirects to external links are done through exit.php, with a 302 redirect. A 302 redirect doesnt give pagerank for the linked page for google, because its a temporary redirect.

Would it be possible to change that for a 301 (permanent redirect) ? Or even better, an option to make direct links if we want? (losing track for external clicks)

(for this I just added the line

Code: Select all

header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
to the beginning of exit.php).

Hi stoub!

Thanks for this useful suggestion! I just included that into our 0.8 release branch CVS so it can be part of a next release!

Regards,
Garvin.
