You don't need to use "ajax" for this.
In ajax.html, just use a link like the following:
<a href="you.php?param=http://yo.com">Go</a>
And in yo.php, do something like:
$link = $_GET['param'];
// assume database connection
$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "<un>", "<pwd>");
mysql_select_db ("<database>");
$query = "insert into sample (idx,link) values('','$link')";
$result = mysql_query($query);
header("Location: $link");
Advantage: Works in all browsers *without* JavaScript.
