Check the cgi.http_referer variable for the domain name that you're expecting, if it's not in there, cflocation to the home page, if it is in there, let it be. It will be blank if the person types it in themselves.

Bots will not index a site that has re-directs setup like that as it is a well known search engine spamming technique!!! ;-) HTH Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
