I get a call from our marketing team that they are needing a redirect page on our public facing site. This redirect will send a user to a survey hosted outside of our environment. Our public site runs off MOSS (SharePoint 2007) and in looking at how to best redirect a user found this to be the easiest way to redirect them for us.

Open your site login with the required permissions in this case I'm logging in as the Farm Administrator.

Go to "Site Actions" then "Manage Content and Structure".

Create a new publishing site off the root of your site or where ever you want your redirect folder to sit. (Site >> New >> Site)
      This is the example I'm using
      Give it a title
      URL Name of the site
      Template Publishing >> Publishing Site
      Create Site

Go to your "Pages" folder. Create a new (Redirect Page) in this case I named it index.aspx.

Edit your redirect page and enter the URL where you are redirecting your traffic to.

Now a bit of a tricky part, you have to make sure you go into your "Site Settings" of that new site, navigate to "Look and Feel" and select "Welcome page" and change the default page listed by SharePoint to the page you have just created, in this case "index.aspx".

Now when a user visits the site http://www.yoursite.com/redirect/ it will automatically shoot them to the redirect URL you specified in the redirect page.

Enjoy!
