  • Hi Wayne,

    If you asking if it's a good idea to cloak your affiliate link I would say "yes."

    If you are asking if that page would benefit from an SEO point of view, a page that redirects to another page usually does not impact Search engine results unless there is a problem with the redirect method. Now the anchor text used to link to the affiliate site can have an impact on both your site and the affiliate site. The URL has no effect unless it's used as the anchor text.
  • Just make an index.html file into the folder with the following code:
    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://affiliatelink/"
//-->
</script>
    This is the simplest way to cloack your affiliate links. You can also use .htaccess or php redirects but the javascript code is easier.

    Best Regards,
    Bemodo
