- LinuxBender 5y agoOne way is to look up the configuration examples for redirecting based on referrers specific to the web server or load balancer you are using. i.e. nginx, apache, haproxy, etc.. Another way is to do this in whatever scripting language your blog may be using. I prefer doing this in the server as I don't have to fork the php scripts. What web server daemon are you using?

But that wouldn't trigger Google Analytics. Can definitely be done on Javascript side too. Thanks for the suggestion. :)
