Free Affiliate Link Cloaking Scripts
Posted on December 24, 2007 - Filed Under Internet
Affiliate links are loaded with information that must be treated confidentially. Another side of the question is that long affiliate links are looking bad, especially in a text email. We all have seen Amazon’s links, didn’t we? I did a little investigation to see what is written on the subject and I was amazed from all the affiliate-cloaking-blah-blahing. Even, a fellow marketer suggested investing some money in affiliate cloaking software program. C’mon …
It takes just a few minutes to code it on your own and I don’t see any other reason but pure laziness for such appeal. And if you tend to pay for every small problem like affiliate link cloaking, what about site building, web design, SEO, RSS, email campaigns, link exchanges, submissions, code validation, content update, product creation and on, and on … you are going to see an online profit your next life.
The lazy ones will NEVER succeed, never, no matter online, offline or what-ever-line.
So, I decided to provide a free solution for everyone who is not extremely lazy and ignorant and who wants to have pretty, SEO friendly and secured affiliate links. For free. Here I will give you only a brief explanation of each one method, but to find the actual script, you have to follow the link in the resource box.
Here are three types of redirection through:
1. Affiliate Link Cloaking through HTTP Meta Refresh Tag
You have to create new html file with empty BODY section (nothing between BODY tags), than add the affiliate link in the HEAD section between meta refresh tags and finally, replace the affiliate link in the original page with clear internal link, pointing at the new HTML file.
2. Affiliate Link Cloaking through PHP redirecting script
The theory is absolutely the same, but the PHP script is much faster and the resulting file is smaller then the previous example.
3. Affiliate Link Cloaking through HTACCESS file redirection
This is my preferred method – it is adding of just one line of code in your .htaccess file.
That is all about cloaking the affiliate links. Many words not needed usually.
