Jeremy L. Knauff: No
David Kutcher: If a url is being 301`d that happens on the server level before the page is served, hence before the tag script.
Jay Lo: Thank you so much :)
Michael Martinez: It will if you use HTTP meta refresh redirects, which many affiliate marketers use for their referral codes.
