Default im ready to buy a link cloaking software product

so i bought a link cloaking product the other day, and, unfortunately its too complicated for me.

what im looking for is a product that will change www.affiliate.com/afflink1824234 to affiliate.com HOME

i dont need to track clicks, leads or anything of that nature.

i use wysiwyg web builder 6, so when i publish my site i simply press 1 button. i dont use my hosting company or an ftp client, so i dont want a product where i have to go in some folder on my Cpanel to do anything.

i just want a link that looks like www.website.com instead of www.website.com/afflink23985734958

if you know a product that will do this, let me know and id be happy to make you a commision.

Thanks, Matrix

You don't need to buy any product. If you have a little HTML knowledge, you can do it yourself...

Here is an example - 20 Ways To Make $100 a Day Part-Time On The Internet

That page takes you to my affiliate link to the 20 ways to make $100 per day online ebook.

Here is the code that does the job -

Code:
<html> 

<head> 

<title>20 Ways To Make $100 a Day Part-Time On The Internet</title> 

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;URL=http://pathway100.com/?e=spencer"> 

<script> 

url='http://pathway100.com/?e=spencer'; 

if(document.images) { top.location.replace(url); } 

else { top.location.href=url; } 

</script> 

</head> 

<body>Loading

<a href=http://pathway100.com/?e=spencer>page</a>... 

</body> 

</html>
All you need to do is change the title, to whatever title you want the page to show, and insert whatever link you want to direct your visitors to, in place of where my affiliate link appears in the above code. Then save as html page with the any name you want the cloaked URL to look like. (In my case - 100DollarsPerDay.html is how I named the file)

Simply upload the file to your server and you have your own cloaked URL.

Hope this helps...

thanks for the help.
i noticed when i previewed in my browser it automatically redirected to that paticular site.

In my paticular instance i just want to display a hyperlink and when the customer hovers over it it says www.blahblahblah.com instead of blahblahblah.com/afflink345837598

is there anyway i can chop up that HTML code to fit my situation?

thanks again, i appreciate it

If your site is hosted on apache servers, you can use .htaccess

If you want to use it, just create a .htaccess file with the following:

Code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule productid([^/]*)(/)?$ index.php?id=$1


And use the link http://mysite.com/products/productid2

If you have more links you can create the array from your mysql database.

Here's a tutorial how to create the .htaccess file:

I use my autoresponders tracking code . I can type in any url and then set the tracking code to say anything I want it to.

This is not a redirect it is done directly in a wysiwyg editor .

Why not do a php redirect instead?

1. Create a new text document.
2. Write the following code, but replace CHANGETHIS to your affiliate link.
Code:
<?php
header('Location: CHANGETHIS');
?>
3. Save the text file.
4. Change the extension of ".txt" to ".php".
5. Create a folder for this document, for example "go" or "recommends".
6. Upload the folder to your host.

If at step 3, I saved the document as "WarriorForum", and at step 5 I created a folder named "Example" to store the document, the url would be:

www.example.com/Example/WarriorForum.php

Easy, right?

Am I right to assume that one little mistake will end in no affiliate sale being registered?
