Redirect coding or wpplugin

by Organizationer
3 replies
Hello is there any such plugin or coding that can redirect our url 3-4 times?

For example I want to set it up like this:

If somebody goes to my link:
mylink.com
==> redirect to: hostgator.com/myafflink (to get commision)
==> then redirect to: hostgator.com/discountpage (final url showing visitors the 50% discount page)

BUT I want the final url on the address bar of the web browser showing the original link (mylink.com), not the hostgator link, despite the page showing the hostgator site.

Is it possible?

    We can use masking but can't redirect for the second time after the first.

    You can't really do this because after your affiliate link, the user is on the Hostgator site and you cannot redirect Hostgator URLs.

    Your affiliate link (hostgator.com/myafflink) will redirect the traffic the way Hostgator wants. Either to their landing page (tracking your affiliation with a cookie) or to a checkout page (again using a cookie to associate the user to you).

    You can keep the URL in the browser looking like your site (mylink.com ) by using iframes. An iframe essentially keeps the user on your domain while displaying content from other domains within an iframe in your page.

    HTML iframe tag

    Be aware that using iframes in this way violates some affiliate programs. For example, Amazon will ban your account for doing this.

    So be sure any URL manipulation, iframing, masking or redirection is within the ToS of your affiliate program.

    I personally would stay away from iframing. Instead, you could use a funnel system, that keeps the visitor on your site. It directs them to the first offer, say hostgator ad. You describe the offer and they can click on hostgator banner ad which opens up new window with your affiliate link url. On the same page, below the banner it can say 'no thanks' or 'check out our other offer' and when clicked that opens up page two, then repeat. You can also use an exit pop which show them another affiliate offer.
