redirect to another page

[Guest]

I would like to have a web page that is detailed with text about my company,
however I would like to redirect potential visitors to my home page first. I
thought this could increase my ranking? Any help is appreciated.

Currently using FP 2003
Thanks Steve

Redirection is never good for search engines. Also if you redirect the page, then any link within
your site to the page would always redirect back to your home page, and visitor would never have a
chance to read about your company.

You already have a home page -- leave it that way and just place a
prominent "About Company-name" link on the home page and a prominent
"Home" link on the company page. That way you cover all bases.

Redirecting people to the home page from the company page is easily done
if you ALWAYS want that to happen but if you only want it to happen once
with each visit, (1) that will require a session ID which search engine
spiders hate and may not/will not follow, and (2) it will be highly
annoying for visitors who have been to the site before.

Out of curiosity

What is a session ID ?

Is it somehting like href=http://myweb.com?sessionid=12345 ?

I am only guessing

Thanks, David
At least there is someone on this side of the world to answer

How does it work. Does one pass a parameter to another html file and then
decide what to do with it?
Or is it part of a cookie?

I have noticed that some of my cookies have the word SessionID in them, and
I read somewhere that cookies can be established for a session only.

So is it part of cookie usage?

I believe so... I don't use them myself, except on a phpBB forum for
logged in members. See Stefan's reply below.

David and Stefan,
Thank you

I am confused?

Is SessionId only used in ASP?

I know nothing about ASP.
Can anyone use it?
If so, how?

 

[Stefan B Rusynko]

No
JavaScript loosely uses the term "session"
- but there is no way to manage it client side
- see my other post w/ the JS spec link

It is used with many dynamic pages -- PHP is another good example.
