When you create a URL record on our system you have some additional options that you can configure. These options determine what happens when the redirect is actually performed.
On the above screenshot you will see the small 'Details' link. Click this link to open the options window. On this page you will be able to configure the meta tags that are used when in cloaking mode, as well as the method of redirection.
Cloaking: If you choose to cloak the URL the redirected site will end up inside of a 100% frame. The URL / address bar at the top of users browsers will always reflect the URL they typed in, not the destination URL, hence the name 'cloak'. If you wish to perform a standard redirect (HTTP Redirect status 302) then uncheck this box. No frame will be created and the destination URL will be shown in the end users address bar.
Title, Description, Keywords: These fields determine what will be entered into the frames page that is created for any cloaked URLs. These help tremendously with search engine spidering, as well as setting the title bar of the browser window. Make sure to fill these fields out for any cloaked URLs that you create. Non-cloaked URLs do not use these settings.
