htaccess question with referrer redirect

Ok, the thing is that some site ( let's call it X ) refers to my site ( let's call it Y ). I would like that when the visitor from site X clicks on my link won't go to site Y but to another site I select ( let's call it Z ). So how can I make sure that when someone goes to X doesn't get directed to Y but to Z ?

I've tried to enter this in httaccess but it just blocked my entire site to that page, even if I was just typing the address in the browser:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://sitex.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.sitex.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://sitez.com/ [L,R]

So the code above just blocked my site to sitez.com

anyone please help?

You never mentioned whether you resolved the issue or not, and someone else in the future might benefit from this.

From the Apache manual, mod_rewrite is for rewriting URLs, not redirecting. So you'd be better off scripting this than using .htaccess. An example follows.


Otherwise, buy a cloaker.
