The links are all redirected through a script.

Sorry not sure what you mean or what your point is? The itnerd.com site is an IT Directory which contains business listings, when you click on a business listing, it goes of to the relevant advertisers site. Simple and sweet. :)

OK. when you click on a listing, it doesn't go directly to the site - it first goes through a script on the itnerd.com site with a 302 redirect. The links aren't direct links to the sites listed - they look like this when you run them through a header checker

If you go through both the Yahoo and Google Search forums, you'll see that there have been some problems with 302 redirects so that needs looking into further. There's a difference between those and links direct to sites that aren't redirected.

Hi, itnerd.
I little reminder that the Beta Test section is not for reviewing sites. We are trying to keep this section free from site reviews as this is a section for beta testing/reviewing tools/softwares/products (one per thread). See the FOR REVIEWERS AND SUBMITTERS (http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?p=27313#post27313) thread.
Feel free to specify what is exactly you want us to review. If there is nothing to review I would assume this thread should be closed.

I'm closing this thread. Reasons: No specific tool/software/product to be reviewed.
