Affiliate tips and tricks to Conversion



How To Hide Affiliate Links - Before hiding an affiliate link, please read your affiliate program’s TOS and make sure this doesn’t go against it. Some programs have no problems with you hiding an affiliate link while other programs strictly forbid it.

.htaccess - This is a great file to get to know, if you’r e using linux. .htaccess is located in the same folder as your index.html or index.php files. If not, you can create one. Open it up .htaccess and move to the bottom of that file and type this in:RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^me.php$ http://me.com?ref=justin [R] “RewriteEngine on” just turns on the mod rewrite program. As you see, url.com/me.php will be
redirect to me’s website, plus it will contain your affiliate code. This is a very easy way to hide your affiliate code and you just need to edit one file.



TML Redirect : Another easy way to do hide your code, that doesn’t require a certain OS. Create a file called me.htm and type this in.

meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://me.com?ref=myname"
You just need to create a new HTML file for each of your affiliate program.

PHP Direct

If you have PHP install on your server, then you can use this technique. With PHP there is a lot of different ways of doing this, but for the time being, I’ll show you the super easy way.Create a file called me.php and type this in:

header("Location: http://www.me.com/?ref=me");
?>

Save it and that’s it. Now url.com/me.php will now take you to johnchow.com/?ref=me. As with the html way, you will need to upload a new file for each of your affiliates.

Javascript Redirect

This technique will work great on websites, however not in blogs with rss feeds. Also if a reader turns off javascript, it will take the user to the url it’s showing. Please note: Google bot has javascript turned off. If the user tries to open it in a new browser or tab, it will not go to the hidden url.

onclick="parent.location.href=’http://www.me.com/?ref=me’;
return event.returnValue=false">Mypcrig


These are just some of the great ways to increase your affiliate conversions. They might be a little evil, but it’s a great way to make money online.
