Create simple affiliate redirect page?

PROGRAMMING

I want to create my own website video sales page which has a promo video and a 'join now' button at the bottom. For example: MyWebsite.com And, then for example, my affiliate ID will be 'Jeff'

Obviously the 'join now' button will redirect the visitor to the parent company's site. It will have my affiliate ID in it. To direct them from MyWebsite.com to XYZcompany.com/Jeff
This part so far is simple. And I know how to do it.

But, I'd like others to be able to use my sales page too. And have the 'join now' button redirect to the XYZcompany's site with their affiliate ID in it.

Someone told me to do a simple s1 funnel, but don't know any more. Does anyone know how to do this, or have a better idea?

Thanks,

Jeff

Just pass the variable via GET method.

PHP example:

Your friend should use their own affiliate code with your site URL: yourwebsite .com/index.php?ref=TheirAffiliateID

In your website code (index.php) the link or the redirect should look like this:

XYZcompany .com/?ref=<?=$_GET['ref']?>

So the visitor will be redirected here: XYZcompany .com/?ref=TheirAffiliateID

Rather than expose the url and affiliate ID in the URL, you could also let your affiliates reach the site with a form post as well. Then it could be their choice.

XYZcompany .com/?ref=<?=$_REQUEST['ref']?> would process a GET or a POST on the fly.

a friendly way to do it is to use subdomains with a common index page and a custom button with their unique link

jeff.salespage.com -> sales page -> button redirects to mainsite.com/jeff
webpeon.salespage.com -> sales page -> button redirects to mainsite.com/webpeon

gives you the advantage of grabbing each affiliate pages stats in cpanel

Using the solution suggested by webpeon will also increase you ranking in the search engines.
You can also (and your affiliates too) cloak your link using bitly (at bitly.com). They offer also a tracking service and API.
The Butterfly Marketing script as well will help you in this without any trouble.

I must be missing something here? How are you going to decide who's affiliate id to use? Is it going to be decided from a referring site or something like that?

@mbwani The best way to do that without hurting rankings would be to use JavaScript.

Create a script so that when a link is clicked it checks the domain name and if it's different from yours redirect to a certain page on your site that has the click here to continue button.

This PHP code should help...

You are finding which website sent the visitor. And you're only taking the domain name. Then depending if the visitor was sent from your website or an affiliate's website, then you can decide how to handle the page.

I hope it helps. Just let me know if you have any questions.

<?php

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']))
{
$url = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$domain = explode('/', $url);

if ($domain[2] == "yourdomain.com")
{
//visitor from your website

}
else
{
//visitor from affiliate

}
}
else
{
//No Referrer - no affiliate
}

?>

  You can use bevomedia as your redirect,
  using their mutable offers features can really make it easy for you.
  
  in the steps when creating your campaign, setup a few different aff offers into the tracker.
  
  Then in step #5 you get all your redirect codes
  
  Also you will be able to track your stats.
  Its what i've been using
  
  Thanks
