Affiliate Page Redirection

by on September 29, 2009

Affiliate page redirection is a rather simple matter.  Redirect may even help you gain page rank by having pertinent keyword-rich links.  It will likely keep Google’s algorithms off you tail.

So, to get started:

Under public_html  you will have your site mysite.com folder

Within your mysite.com folder you’ll have image folder, background folder, ect.

Add another folder within the mysite.com folder and call it something  memorable.  In this example we will call the folder gotourl

Within this folder create a file and put this code between the header tags:

<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;
url=http://www.myaffiliatelink.com”>

You will need to replace the URL “myaffiliatelink.com” with your own affiliate program link.

Name the file and save the file as a .php file and upload. So if you named the file mysite.com/gotourl/zebra.php enter that URL on your index page.

If you are in 10 different affiliate programs you will need to set up 10 separate pages for each affiliate link and put them in that “memorable name” folder that we have called: gotourl.

Now you can use each redirect page link in your promotions instead of the affiliate link.

When someone clicks on your redirect page link this happens:

1. They get taken to your redirect page which is a blank page. This lasts a few seconds.

2. The command in your header tag then forwards the visitor directly to the affiliate site.

The best thing about redirect pages is they do not look like affiliate links. The link  just look like normal pages to your visitor and to Google and the other search engines.

For further cloaking, put a:  rel=”nofollow” in the affiliate link. For example:

<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;
url=http://www.myaffiliatelink.com” rel=”nofollow”>
