The good news is that you can use a wordpress plugin to redirect links for you. Im pretty sure its called golinks. Hope this helps

That is a great way to add affiliate links. I have been using that for a couple of years now, because it is easy to manage links.

Here’s a question. What is you are just learning, have a website wanting to add affiliate links but can fit your computer knowledge in a 1/4 of a thimble? Any take me by the hand instructions out there?

that’s a neat trick! thanks!
one question – i’ve heard about people poaching your afiliate sales through intercepts. does that make your affiliate code any more – or any less – secure?

Thanks for this post, it has helped me a lot in understanding how to re-direct an affiliate link – much better explanation of others on page one of google, including Aaron Walls!

Does anyone know how to track keywords when using php redirect pages?

It looks like it should be simple. However, I don’t understand ‘affiliate link’ after keywordxyz.php in the second graphic.

Why not just .shtml pages?

I can get this to work no problems when it’s a straight link but for example when it’s google referall affiliate code its a block of text like ……

google_ad_client = “pub-???????????”;
google_ad_output = “textlink”;
google_ad_format = “ref_text”;
google_cpa_choice = “CAAQnfzw4AIaCJwZC9ix5DwoKN2uuIEBMAA”;
//–>

‘

So how do i get this to work? My link works successfully and i can find the .php file …. it just doesn’t redirect.

Any help is appreciated.

I have set up a php redirect and can get it to work for normal links that are just a straight URL with an affiliate ID attached, but how do you reconfigue Amazon links to work – they have that tracking code on the end.

For instance, a typcial amazon affiliate link for a Sony Ericsson Cellphone Search page results would be as below:

What part of this do i put into the following redirect page codeline

if ($linkid == “”) {$link = “AFFILIATE LINK GOES HERE”;}

Really appreciate your help, thanks
