Not sure what its called - a jump page?

One of my competitors has something implemented on his website where if you click a link thats internal, it tries to load the page and then directs you to the affiliate website.

I think its to help his bounce rate because it loads a secondary page, waits a few seconds, then redirects.  Is this allowed?

If it is, I think I should implement it. Any information would be helpful.  He is running wordpress

A meta refresh?   What's the URL?

Sorry about the niche, I want to clarify I dont sell this stuff. I do however sell something similar.  Anyhow, if you click any of his links they open in a new window, load on his primary domain but then load a new site.

Is this a trick to lower his bounce rate?

It looks like a 307 redirect on a link that opens a new page. The 307 is a variation of the 302 temporary redirect. Not sure why they do it but I don't think it's helping them with anything.

Hmm, alright thank you for answering my question Chris.
