Hide or Redirect Affiliate Links

If you are part of a referral program, better known as an affiliate program and aren’t redirecting your affiliate links, you may be losing sales, probably quite a bit of sales.

Here are a few very good reasons why you should redirect your affiliate links:

1. It will help build and grow backlinks to your website
1. It will minimize spam filtering of your email campaigns
2. It will aid in increasing article submission acceptance
4. It will minimize the fear some visitors may have when they see an elongated link, It’s pretty simple.  Here’s how you do it:

1. Create a new (blank) web page on your website
2. Edit the HTML of the page by putting the following piece of code between the header tags:

 

You will need to replace the URL “youraffiliatelink.com” with your affiliate link

If you are part of multiple affiliate programs and have multiple affiliate links, you will need to set up a separate (blank) page with the header code above for each affiliate link.

Now you can use the link(s) from your redirect pages instead of the affiliate link(s).

When someone clicks on your redirect page link the following will happen:

1. They are taken to your blank redirect page. This will only appear for a couple of seconds. 
2. The command in your header tag then forwards the visitor directly to the affiliate site.

Redirect pages do not look like affiliate links. They appear to be normal pages. For those people that have a problem clicking affiliate links, they will be unaware that the redirect page is actually an affiliate link. Now, go make some money!
