There is nothing underhanded or tricky about using 301 redirects, or about using .htaccess to make URLs look nice.

Anyway, basic questions here: to do a 301 correctly, I create a page that redirects to the poker room with the affiliate code in it. If I don’t want to use an htaccess file (and am not using php), how would I go about doing this? Would I use a meta redirect?
If you aren’t using php, then I’m not sure how it would be done. I guess I would use a meta refresh , like you suggested. I know the search engines are fine with 301 redirects; not sure how they treat meta refreshes. Maybe check Webmaster World and see if there is any info over there.
