1. A method for controlling a server device that is communicatively connected, via a communication network, to a terminal device operated by a user, the method comprising:
the server device receiving an access request, via the communication network, from the terminal device operated by the user;
the server device redirecting a first URL to a second URL when the server device receives the access request to the first URL from the terminal device;
the server device encouraging the user to use the second URL by indicating that a reward will be offered to the user for using the second URL, when redirecting the first URL to the second URL; and
the server device offering a reward to the user when the server device receives the access request to the second URL from the terminal device.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second URL is a URL which adds a predetermined character string to the first URL.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first URL and the second URL access to the same page.
4. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium or media storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving an access request from a terminal device operated by a user;
redirecting a first URL to a second URL when the access request to the first URL is received from the terminal device;
encouraging the user to use the second URL by indicating that a reward will be offered to the user for using the second URL, when redirecting the first URL to the second URL; and
offering a reward to the user when the access request to the second URL is received from the terminal device.
5. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium or media according to claim 4 , wherein the second URL is a URL which adds a predetermined character string to the first URL.
6. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium or media according to claim 4 , wherein the first URL and the second URL access to the same page.
7. A server device communicatively connected, via a communication network, to a terminal device operated by a user, the server device configured to:
receive an access request, via the communication network, from the terminal device operated by the user;
redirect a first URL to a second URL when the access request to the first URL is received from the terminal device;
encourage the user to use the second URL by indicating that a reward will be offered to the user for using the second URL, when redirecting the first URL to the second URL; and
offer a reward to the user when the access request to the second URL is received from the terminal device.
8. The server device according to claim 7 , wherein the second URL is a URL which adds a predetermined character string to the first URL.
9. The server device according to claim 7 , wherein the first URL and the second URL access to the same page.
