Tutorial: How To Redirect Affiliate Links
October 7th, 2008Last week, we talked about doing affiliate program audits. We briefly touched on the subject about redirecting affiliate links. In fact, Santa - a regular reader did an audit, found several programs that need updating. It’s good for him that his links are re-directed so he can just switch them out and minimize his losses. Great real world example of the benefits of redirecting affiliate links.
I’ve done redirects for a long time and its become second nature. From feedback received, I also know many people get very confused how to do this. So here’s a 10 minute video tutorial how to do that. I show you two methods and in cPanel as well. Hope it helps.
P/S: As mentioned in the video yes. You can do this even if your site is powered by WordPress. I do it on this and many other sites.
Please enable Javascript and Flash to view this Viddler video.These are the codes used:
PHP redirect
<?php header("Location: http://www.example.com/"); /* Redirect browser */ /* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */ exit; ?>
Meta refresh method or just visit my affiliate center to generate the code.
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0url=your affiliate url here"></head><body></body></html>
