I have the above link in my sales page going to my CB order page. I took a link from my sales page to test my link, and I looked at the bottom of my order page. Much to my surprise, there was someone's affiliate link at the bottom of the page. I assume he is trying to get affiliate links that he did not earn. I contacted CB but it will take them several business days to get back to me.

I was looking at other posts on this forum, and it look like I need to cloak the above link in my sales page. Right?

Could someone tell me step-by-step in basic English just how to do that? I am NOT a programmer...

I have several accounts on Clickbank, but I use the same domain for most of my products.

I use Dreamweaver, in case that makes any difference. My web host can handle php.

    If you've RECENTLY clicked through someones CB affiliate link for ANY product, the affiliate ID will stick around on the link that you have above because it goes direct to your purchase page without going via the hoplink system.

    Try it again now, or PM it to me and I'll check it.

    link cloaking is not a bad idea anyway.

    You can use the .htaccess file to do it (using redirects)
    or you can set up tinyurl.com links
    or you can set up something like this on your site
    Folder -> OrderNow
    SubFolder -> Product1
    index.php (assuming this is set as a default document in your site config, which is likely)

    in index.php, you can either do a meta refresh to redirect to the desired URL (which you can do in dreamweaver), or you can do an in code redirect:

    PHP Code:
    <?php
    header    ("Location: http://1.PUBLISHER.pay.clickbank.net/"); /* Redirect browser */

    /* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
    exit;
    ?>
    Then link to

    http://www .example.com/OrderNow/Product1/

      Roger, that worked just great. I did what I needed to do.

      I went into the index.php file a few minutes ago, and it is now empty! I am using Dreamweaver 8. Any idea what happened and how I can fix it? It wasn't empty right away. I created the file and uploaded. I looked at it, and it looked fine. A little later I looked at it, and it was entirely empty!

      Thanks!

        Roger, it only seems to be empty in the design view. When I look at the code view, I can see it. So, I guess I am OK. Thanks so much for your help! Jeanne

          That was exactly what I was going to suggest

          Most WYSIWYG html tools don't show the server side code at all in the UI mode.
