Thanks for the valiant effort but for some reason the news .htaccess file gives an internal error code (500)

I reinstalled the original one you gave as an example.

For those who find the need to also use the original one, it is as follows:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)$ http://linktrack.info/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

That was too easy!!!

I took my .htaccess file, added the section of IfModule code, and it works!!!!

How exciting is that!

I have a domain name http://www.Hoims.com which I just set up in a hosting account.

I called technical support and they said that the servers I have with this account support url re-writing via an.htaccess file.

I am not a programmer but since the sole purpose of this domain is to use your linktrack system, I don’t mind tinkering.

You say I have to set up pattern matching. I have gone on line and read some basics but not sure how to do that.

Is the rewrite code you give in the “Free Branded URL Tracking” article to be added to the .htaccess file that I have?

Do you have any sample files you already set up, to look at?

(I found my current .htaccess file and downloaded a copy to look at.)

If I give you my hosting account information what would you charge to set it up so that I can use your track with my url?

Thanks for a great program.
