How do I do a redirect to my affiliate page from my ezine article?

17 replies
Hi everyone

I have asked a similar question to this before but ill be dammed if I can find it.

Anyhow I have written an article to test out an offer I have chosen,all I want to do is put my affiliate link in the resource box but apparantly you cannot put your affiliate link in there.

So what do I put in there to redirect my potential customer to my offer.I dont want to make a sales page or anything just want them to find my ezine article and go straight to the official product sales page.

Oh I do need it explained to me in simple terms thanks,hope you can help.

cheers

Marcus

  • Just buy a cheap .info name. Put a redirect link in that page. With EZA, It is ok if your main page redirects to the offer.

    Put this code on the main page

    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.exampleaffiliatesite.com/affiliatecode"> Make the URL your affiliate link.

    That should do it

        As long as your top level domain name is the one redirecting, you are OK.

      So do I have to have hosting or something? how do I put a redirect link in the page without hosting my own website?
      not sure I understand.

        Get a domain name.
        Get hosting.
        Create a blank html document put <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.exampleaffiliatesite.com/affiliatecode"> in the document
        Upload it to your site.

        You are done

        You can probably get the .info name for like $1.99, and yes, you will need hosting.

          Is that the only way to do a redirect then?

            That is the simple way I learned. Never needed to try anything else after that, but there are other ways...php scritps, forwarding, and others.

    After getting your domain and hosting, you will go to the control panel and setup the domain forward feature, where you will froward your new domain to the sales page with your affiliate link.

      You don't need hosting. I buy my redirect domains from Godaddy - you can forward your domain to your hoplink and mask it as well.

    cheers charles I will give it a go,its just that I am writing a few ezine articles and I want to direct them straight to the offer for now,before I set my network up to see if it gets sales.
    Shame I cant just enter my affiliate id in the resource box it would be so much easier,I have a hubpage with an article on it I suppose I could redirect them to that, but they might be pissed off with clicking on one article to get to another and lose interest.

      This is where a little trick could come in handy. Drop the .info for a .com You are just testing, right?

      Let's say that your test is a failure. You make no sales, so you go off to test another niche. You still have an asset, dont you? That domain is an asset.

      What do you do with that domain after a failed test? You throw a quick Wordpress blog on it. Put those articles you submitted to Ezinearticles.com on it, then flip it for $30-40 over at digitalpoint.

      If you use this approach, you never lose But dont tell anyone. It will be our little secret.
