301 redirects on a windows server

[hot_shot]

I found this, but it only works if the original page that the redirect is is an .asp page. I'd like to change a .htm page into another page

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<%
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "http://www.automotivetouchup.com"
%>

I'd also love to take my affiliate program and allow my affiliate links to count as inbounds. The page that the affiliate link goes to looks like this:


<%
MerchantID = Request.QueryString("MerchantID")
' Perform DefaultParameter processing.
If IsEmpty(MerchantID) Or MerchantID = "" Then
MerchantID = 0
End If

session("mallid")=MerchantID

' find next page to display
ipaddress = (Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME"))

whatsnext = (Request.QueryString("NextPage"))
' Perform DefaultParameter processing.
If IsEmpty(whatsnext) Or whatsnext = "" Then
whatsnext = "index.htm"
End If

gostring = "http://" & ipaddress & "/" & whatsnext

Response.Redirect (gostring)

%>

Is there something I'd need to change to make them count as a backlink using a 301 redirect, but still keep tracking? Any help is much, much appreciated.
