The following code can be used to set up a very basic redirection page. You may want to use redirection pages for your affiliate programs.

This is a technique which can save you entering a very long url which looks clumsy and unattractive and people will not want to click through the link. So let’s use a more appealing method in order to get those clicks!

Here’s what you need to do:

You’ll create a subdirectory at your site like www.yoursite.com/miriadz/ (if you don’t know how to do this ask your webmaster) and when people click on this page it will automatically redirect them to your affiliate link!

So anyone that clicks on www.yoursite.com/miriadz/ will be redirected to:

http://www.miriadz.com/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=username

Here’s the code you will need to insert into a web page to create your redirection process:

<html>

<body>

</body>

</html>

So now you can use the shorter and ‘cleaner’ www.yoursite.com/yourlinkname/ URL in your promotions!

This quick and simple set up helps to mask your affiliate links and gain more clicks in the process.

More advanced techniques to come!
