Need Help With PHP Redirect--Need To Redirect Users Only

hellohellosharp · May 10, 2011

A lot of you have probably seen the sticky post one BH SEO called "Method To Get One Way Backlinks"....I read this and this got me thinking....

Would there be away to redirect users to one site and all bots to another? I am a complete noob at PHP so any help would be appreciated. Basically just something like

Code:

if (visitor is user)
301 redirect to some site
else
301 redirect to a different site

I guess the reverse could also work

Code:

if (visitor is any kind of bot)
301 redirect to some site
else
301 redirect to a different site

It seems like this would be somewhat simple. Thanks a ton for any help!! (I will thank all decent replies).

You can check the users User Agent header against a list of bot strings.

An example of bot user agents: (I would search to find most recent strings)

Code:

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] = 'Googlebot/2.1')
{
header("location: botsite");
}
else
header("location: realsite");
