I've refereed a previous thread on WF on affiliate link cloaking and did try the below to cloak my Affiliate links on my website:
<?php header('Location: [myaffiliatelink]) ?> My question 1. My affiliate links from CB are cloaked when i open my website with Internet Explorer. But the same does not seem to happen with Firefox? Any reason for the same 2. All my website files are .html and i've used php for the cloaking. Will this impact the performance of my website since i use HTML and PHP in combination 3. is there a better free way to cloak affilaite links? Would be glad to hear what you guys follow? Thank you all for your help & Response Cheers Sandy |

One method includes using tinyurl.com (which is kind of self explanatory once you visit the site). I stray away from this though. Although it's unlikely, they're very very popular, they could decide to shut down and any links you have in ebooks/articles etc are null and void.
Alot of people will have a recommends bit on their website....so: You'd have: http://www.yoursite.com/recommends/affiliateproduct In the folder have a file called "index.html" The code in the index file should read: <html> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- window.location = "http://www.youraffiliatelink.com" //--> </script> </body> </html> This will redirect them automatically and rapidly, via your affiliate link, to the other sales page. So your cloaked link is: http://www.yoursite.com/recommends/affiliateproduct Hope this helps, Chris |

Check your code to make sure that you aren't missing anything. A simple PHP redirect should work regardless of your browser.
Here is one example that I typically would use which should work with any browser: Code:
<?php
header('Location: http://www.YourWebSite.com');
exit();
?>
