Masking / Redirect URLs Help
I am designing a new software product and looking to put affiliate links into the program. I am trying to figure out how to make sure the links I put into the program never go dead. In my research I found out about using a Meta Refresh to mask my links. Below is what I read on how to do this.
Masking any URL with a Meta Refresh.
SAMPLE MASK:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0" URL=xxx.tomshayaffiliatelink.xxx">
I would then never lose my affiliate links if I changed products or affiliates.
Is this a good way of doing this?
I could also use this for Tracking my links?
Is there a better way to do this, or a good product to do this for me?
How does Google look at this practice?
Thank you in advance,
Tom

- Create a blank html page.
- Change the URL in the sample above to your affiliate URL.
- Paste the code above into the blank page.
- Save the page with a name that makes sense. (list-links.html)
- Upload the saved page to your server.
