Cloaking your affiliate links is usefull for a few things. The most important being that people can't type the URL into their browser and second some people just refuse clicking affiliate links. Here are 2 ways to cloak your affiliate links.
Method One
This is a redirection script which can hold an unlimited amount of URLs, and it allows you to keep them all into one PHP-file. Okay, here we go.
1. Create a .php file, call it redirect.php
2. Open the file and insert the following code :
$links = array(
"samsys" => "http://www.samsys.com",
);
header("Location:".$links[$_GET['site']]);
exit;
?>
Offcourse you need to replace the description and URL with whatever you want, also note that you can add as many URLs below this one as you want.
3.Call the link using this string :
http://www.yoursite.com/redirect.php?site=samsys
You're done!
Method Two
This method can be used to redirect single affiliate links, the advantage with this method is that if you have enough links to the affiliate link you could get it to rank in MSN, so those are potential earnings from organic searches.
So, you want to have a file to redirect to one of your sites? Easy!
1. Create a file called mysite.php
2. Open the file and insert the following code :
header( 'Location: http://www.mysite.com' ) ;
?>
3.To call the link simply use:
http://www.yoursite.com/mysite.php
This method makes the link look much more like a static page, so the visitor is more likely to click your link.
Well, we're done!
