Same happened to me. I tried in FF but there isn't a plug in available for the newest FF version. Any help would be appreciated.

301 redirects and BT Buckets

Hello,I'm migrating two sites into one so I'm trying to display a "welcome" overlay to users that have been redirected from the old domain so they know what happened. The redirect is a 301 redirect and it seems that 301 redirects don't pass a referral therefore I can't initiate the overlay based on the old domain. Has anyone been through this type of scenario before using BT Buckets? If so any insights on how to accomplish this? Thank you for your time.See More

BTW just noticed that if I get redirected once and try another redirect bucket that should redirect me to a different page I keep getting sent to the first redirect page instead. For example I setup a bucket that takes me to…

Oh I see now. In all fairness that's how the Firefox add-in setup the code. :) I followed the redirect tutorial video that's on this site. I assumed it was correct since it setup Google, Yahoo and Bing. Who was I to question it :) But I do…

Thanks for the quick reply. That's basically what I figured. I setup a bucket so any user that enters "www.exodus.co.uk" using the search term "walking holidays" from google.co.uk gets redirected to…

Can you quickly outline how you got the redirect to work? I setup everything according to the videos but the redirect doesnt do anything. I have tried everything with no success. I am quite confused what the "Client-side Targeting Callback…

Take a look at Google's interpretation of "cloaking". If you're following the same reasoning than you shouldn't have a problem. http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=72507 BTW because the…
