I decided to monitor the number of people coming from a set link to my page by adding a variable to the link, this way I could visually see it on my stats.

The link is this:  
[http://www.letsdesign.co.uk/?link=3drally](http://www.letsdesign.co.uk/?link=3drally)

I would now like to manipulate the HTML page for people that come from this link. I realise it would be better to make a PHP page to do this but I was hoping there was a simpler HTML based method.

I just want to change the text in the ‘main content area’ to say something slightly more ‘audience focussed’.

Is there a way to do this?

alternatively is there a way to look for that variable in the URL and command it to go to another page say index2.html

Thanks in advance.
