Using Custom Redirect to redirect to your affiliate/referral links

I know I've seen people bring this up in the past about amazon and shoppingads but I couldn't find it when I searched for it just now. What I want to do is make a list of sites that I have referral links on and make so if someone posts a link to that site, it's rewritten to my referral link.

This is the link I'm wanting to do:
http://www.*****.com
to
http://www.*****.com/?ref=262215

Is that possible? I've tried doing it with the acronym expansion but that doesn't work.

Or, could I have it show up as mysite.com/made-up-file.html and then forward that made up file url to my referral link?

im sure theres something for this on vb.org, does it for ebay affilates, so isnt to bad... also amazon, give it a search??

I know there's mods for 2 sites, but I'm talking about sites like "freexbox360elite.com" type of sites. I don't know what the codes are to redirect or else I can try to figure it out myself :S

no idea but them sites seem crap, and ruin sites, they get spammed so much!

There's ones that work and tons that don't. You just have to know what sites have been proven and which haven't been proven to work.
