hey - noob at cpa needs help

Can you use your cpa link directly on a you tube video / shortened/ masked?

is it better to have a i frame or redirect ? - the only purpose of an iframe or redirect is to make the url look prettier - is that correct ?

for a cpa offer - i simply direct traffic to the cpa url -- anyway I can [within the tos ]- ?

cheers

    Your better off putting it in the first part of the description and using budurl or some kind of URL shortener that has tracking.

      You should never use these url shorteners. What if they go out of business? then your out of business! or if you survive, then you are scrambling to change all your links and you will never remember where you placed all your links... make your life easier and use your own domains as already suggested..

    get a cheap .info domain which is easy to remember and which is also related to your offers and set it up to redirect to your offer.

    Make also sure to test multiple offers until you get the best performing offer.

    Yes you can. If you want yourdomain.com/offer to redirect to a cpa offer then you need to create a .php script with notepad and put it into the offer folder and then upload it via your ftp client e.g. filezilla

    Does that seem confusing??? Here it is step by step:

    Step 1. Create Folder for offer e.g. bestacai

    Step 2. Create .php script with your affiliate link using notepad and save as bestacai.php in the bestacai folder that you just created
    Here's the Script:

    <?php
    header( 'Location: Put Your Affiliate Link Here' ) ;
    ?>

    Step 3. Upload the bestacai folder via ftp e.g. filezilla
    so you would save it under yourdomain.com and then when people click on the link yourdomain.com/bestacai they will be redirected to the offer

    time to complete: 2 min

    Hope that helps

    Using redirection doesn't have only the benefit of improving the URL, but it can also be used to track your campaigns if you use a PHP script or a tracking software like Prosper202.

    Get your own domain and redirect, this way you control the traffic better.

      i just bought a cheap .info and redirected to the CPA offer. Works pretty well with conversions, instead a ugly affiliate link.

    Hey,

    As a couple of people have said before, buying .info domains are definitely the best way to go. They are really cheap, as little as $0.79, and you can easily redirect to your CPA offer.

    I would advise that even if you are promoting an offer where you can use your affiliate link to send people to the offer, I definitely would still advise that you use your own domain. Not only does it look a lot 'prettier', but your viewers are much more likely to trust a short simple domain which relates to what you are promoting rather than a long messy affiliate link. If the viewer trusts the link then they are much more likely to click through and increase conversions.

    Good luck,

    Jason

    thanks for all the replies -- when you say redirect can we cloak the link like this

    or actually forward the url --- ? and how do you do this for each page - isnt it one forward per domain ?

    If I want to send a person to my cpa offer and have him click on the link in an email
    how do I do a php redirect to the offer rather than put the actual offer link in the email. I know i have to start with buying a basic .info domain name. Also do I need to have hosting for that .info to do the redirect.
