I'm pretty sure that any spider would follow a redirect, because it's a command coming from the server (php). If it was done with JS, then I'd say no.
My ignorant guess, is that the spider asks for bayarea... and in return gets whatever the server gives it... I'm not much of a spider man though... :)

my guess is that the spider would know to not follow any redirects launched by the page.
oddly enough I get an error page now when I try the link to the bobby page.

yeah, I couldn't get anything through the link either...
By the way, are we the only humans awake right now? Maybe it has something to do with being a Saturday night... I'm pathetic, and it's my birthday too...

lol, that is kinda harsh to be on this site on your birthday. I at least have the semi-legit excuse of working a freelance deadline

harsh indeed... Girlfriend is in Greece, family isn't around and friends either don't even know, or are too busy bobbing for snapples! One of those days...

wow! thanks guys!
i'm looking through everything right now.
quick question... so once i figure out the headers, i can put a php redirect right? based on an if ?
- xrusos0
the reason i care is:
1) my site's stats are messed up because of it.
2) people coming to the site via search engines do not see the ads. meaning no cash to support the site!

as in...
?php
if (!(strpos($HTTP_USER_AGENT,'Mozi... === false))etc... replacing the mozilla with whatever it is?
- xrusos0
okay, i think i'll need a bit more hand holding through this...
can you lay it out for me with some code to include?
questions:
even if i determine IP, doesn't that end up determining the end users IP? and not the middle man (bobby)?
- xrusos0
okay, now i can determine if it bobby is viewing or anyone else. but bobby kills my meta refresh (actually just removes the "refresh" part) and javascript!
now what?
links i've been using to test:
