ie. how do you get the recommends (or any other word) up there?

    Create a folder in your cPanel under root, call it whatever you want.

    Under that folder create php files for each product you want to promote.

    So bloggingtothebank.php , wsooffer.php and so on.

    The code you need to use:

    Code:
    <?php
header("location:http://www.youraffiliatelink.com/?id=123");
exit;
?>
    And then you can link to http://www.yoursite.com/recommends/b...gtothebank.php

    Or...

    create a folder called productname under your recommends folder, and use the same code above in a file called index.php

    You can then link to www.yoursite.com/recommends/wsooffer

      Hey Jason,

      You'll probably ignore this but I'm sure it'll get a lot of traffic to a website you own.

      Could you show how to do that above in a video? Or do you know any videos that do that?

      Cheers,

      Johnson.

      Hey Jason,

      I'm almost there. When you're making the php file, do just use notepad and when you're saving it, do you just call it productname.php? Because I did that and for some reason or another, it's not working...

      Cheers,

      Johnson.

      Another way is to create redirects in the .htaccess file.

      Redirect /recommends/productone product1.com
      Redirect /recommends/producttwo http://product2.com/?=youraffiliatecode

      This way they're all in one place, so it's easy to update them if necessary.
      The '/recommends' folder does not actually need to exist.

      Here is a blog post which goes into a bit more detail:
      Using .htaccess Redirects for Affiliate Links .htaccess

      It's probably a good idea to add the '/recommends' folder to the robots.txt disallow list.

      Hi greenovni,

      Is there a way to contact Andy Fletcher here on the Warrior Forum? I emailed him from freelinkcloaker.com a couple weeks back but he hasn't replied yet.

      Cheers,

      Johnson.

    Simply make a new folder under public_html in cPanel.

    Then you need to create a PHP file with the following code in it:

    Code:
    <?php 
echo "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://websiteurl.com">"; 
?>
    That's it.

    If you have a Wordpress site, install the Redirection plugin and you can do what you want in about two seconds. Simple.
