Will meta refresh block referring urls?

Will a website containing meta refresh code prevent referring urls from being shown?

I know in the past (5+ years ago) a meta refresh page would prevent referring urls from showing up, but would about current modern browsers?

Could someone be kind enough to answer this for me? I am pretty sure referring urls won't show up, but I am looking for some verification. Thanks!

Yes, but use a double meta refresh if so. Else you could use SSL cloaking.

Is a double refresh just redirecting through two meta refresh pages?

How does SSL cloaking work?

Yes.
LP/AD ->meta to Page1->meta to page 2 ->offer.
I would try to keep the refresh delay quite slow/fast(2 sec delay) and also add a link to the next page in case the refresh/redirect fails.
("Redirecting you to blah blah. Click here if it does not automatically redirect you in 2 seconds)

Disclaimer :- Am also a noob. :music06:

Is it really possible for a meta refresh to not refresh properly on a modern browser? Seems pretty unlikely. Has it ever happened to any of you?

Precaution that is simple to implement & does no harm is better than speculative thinking and lost leads.

That wasn't a good question.
If 90% pople say that they have had no problems with redirects and 10% say they did, you will implement the link while redirecting, and if 100% say they never had any problems, (if you are thoughtfull) your precautionary instincts will STILL instruct you to put that link.

Conclusion :- Put up the fucking link on the redirect page. It's just a 2 minute thing and you will not be harmed(financially) by implementing it.

Just my 0.02$

It looks kinda ugly though. But I guess if the redirect time is 0 seconds, nobody would see it anyways except maybe a few handful that I'd lose otherwise.

Now how is SSL cloaking done?
