If you want to succeed in affiliate marketing, you will need to hide your affiliate links. I know a lot of affiliates that do not mind hiding the ugly affiliate links which may cost them a lot of stolen affiliate commissions.
Sometimes advertisers display its affiliate links into something like this
Instead of having a short link like this
To solve this problem, you have to hide your affiliate links. There are a lot of ways to hide your affiliate links and some can be done as easy as copy/paste. I have here Part I of a series of two parts.
1. .htaccess
RewriteRule^name.php$ http://www.whateveraffiliate.com/cgi-bin/dir/go.cgi-123456 [R]
Rewrite Engine on simply turns on the mod rewrite program and it will redirect to the affiliate link.
2. The PHP Redirect
Create a txt file and type this in:
<? header(“Location: http://www.whateveraffiliate.com/cgi-bin/dir/go.cgi-123456″); ?>
Save this as php file (name.php). Name.php file will redirect to http://www.whateveraffiliate.com/cgi-bin/dir/go.cgi-123456. You will need to upload this new file and create each for every affiliate program you are joining.
3. The Javascript redirect
<a href=”http://www.mydomain.com” onclick=”parent.location.href=’http://www.whateveraffiliate.com/cgi-bin/dir/go.cgi-123456′; return even.return Value=false”>Affiliate Name</a>
4. The HTML Redirect
<html>
<head><title>This one rocks</title>
<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0; url=http://www.whateveraffiliate.com/cgi-bin/dir/go.cgi-123456″>
</head>
<body>
Affiliate links are hidden.
</body>
</html>
