CPA-Redirector 2

One thing I did right away was change the mn to something different, because if they find your link, and they know about the redirect, then they will know you are using the code. If it says something different, like mylink=9999 or cpaoffer=9999 they may be more apt to see it for a normal sql link

Just to clarify, do a search and replace of mn and replace them with mylink, or whatever. Depending on which one you are using it can appear around 8 times, no idea, just a guess and too lazy to go look.

Do Not do an automatic search and replace. If you do, you will be replacing mn in the word "columns" which appears a few times in the script. Search and replace manually :)
 
Thank you for the script. It is great. The only problem I have is the cpa redirector 2 plugin for wordpress doesn't work with themes like Thesis 1.7 or wpremix3. It doesn't redirect. Is there a way to make it work with these themes also?
 
By the way this plugin is great and working fine with me, but I have a tiny question.

Rather than adding the affiliate URL, can I add an iframe URL instead? Will it still fake the referrer, or will the referrer just be the iframing URL?

Answer if you know for sure. If I come back and you guys have not answered me, I'll test it and let you know ;)

Make me understand.
Do you want to keep the script inside an iframe and execution of cparedirector will be wrapped into that container?
If yes, then the referrer is the iframed page and you are safe.
 
Big edit on this post (you're not seeing things lol)

Basically if you put any link in an iframe, the link will use the main page as the referrer. Therefore you cannot do what I originally thought.

Basically I thought that if you put forward your magical number URL (from CPA red) to the iframed URL, this may fake the referrer. However, testing with whatismyreferrer.com , I've found this to be false, because I put "whatismyreferrer.com" into an iframe and the referrer was the same page :( . So don't do it guys!

Looks like this is a good plugin. Going to download and get my feet wet trying it out.
 
Hi there!

I got a question, I downloaded the plugin, uploaded it etc..so it's working so far. The problem is that Firefox shows the referrer URL in the URL bar.

Example:

blackhatactivitysite.com -> link to mynicewhitehatblog.com/blabla/etc/?mn=1337 -> redirect to myaffiliateshavesalot.com/

When the visitor clicks the link, he will see the URL of my white hat blog before he is taken to the affiliate page.

How to fix this? Or is this how it works?

Salute
 
After uploading CPA redirector 2 for Blog Posts my blog has run much slower. Its hard to load. Does anyone else notice this problem?

I am using WP 2.9.2

Is there a way to remove the redirect history from the browser?
After being redirected to the CPA page I can right click on the back button and I'll see my blog url. But the bit.ly page doesn't show in history? and the tracking link from the CPA network doesn't either? How do they remove those and can my blog page be removed from the history as well?

This is the way it's displayed:
Code:
[I]Free Apple Ipad
[url]http://myblog.com/blogpost/[/url]
[url]http://myblog.com/blogpost/?mn=1234[/url][/I]

This is the actual route:
Code:
Free Apple Ipad
[url]http://bizoppoffer.com/x/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/x/[/url]
[url]http://myblog.com/blogpost/[/url]
[url]http://myblog.com/blogpost/?mn=xxxx[/url]
[url]http://bit.ly/xxxxx[/url][/I]

Traffic will be able to see my blog URL in their history and anyone with half a brain will be able to figure out that it's only purpose is to fake the referrer, right?
 
Is there any way to make this redirector work with an iframe? Like for example if I use cakeslice and get the http code and put it on a site, then I edit it and make it that when the person puts in their email, they are taken to my blog with cpa redirect on it. Then this blog automatically redirects them to the first page of the offer. Wondering if that would work?

Anyone?

How would I remove the history of visiting my blog from the browser?

Why would you want to do that, anyway? Your purpose of using redirector is to hide the referrer from affiliate vendors and point them into thinking that the traffic came from your blog. Your "customers" will know how they got to the vendor's website.

Besides, average Internet user doesn't have a clue about affiliate links, marketing and/or redirects.

BTW thanks Brad for the wonderful plugin! I am using it for some time now and it works like charm!

Hi everyone,

I've learned so much from BHW I wanted to give something back today, its a slight modification to the much loved CPA-Redirector 2 script. The wordpress version.

What I found was as I've got almost 9000 posts, this was impossible to go to the cparedirector page where you can setup redirects so I wanted a way to only show the pages (as they're the only ones I redirect at the moment). I added a modification which makes the cparedirector 2 script only show my 26 pages (they appear first in the list as normal).

Look for the following part of the script. (You can edit from the plugin section)

Code:
get_post_meta($post->ID, "theurl", true) . '" size="40" /></th>';
echo '</tr>';
underneath I've added a line:

Code:
if ($post_title=="change here to show post title") save_settings();
then underneath there was this section of code:

Code:
        echo '</table>';
        echo '<div style="clear:both;"></div>';
        echo '<input type="hidden" name="post_count" value="' . $i . '"/>';
        echo '<br>';
        echo '<div id="thecenter">';
        echo '<input type="submit" value="Save Settings" />';
        echo '</form>';
        echo '</div></div>';
I've moved this part to the bottom and created a function out of it, called
save_settings

Code:
function save_settings(){

        echo '</table>';
        echo '<div style="clear:both;"></div>';
        echo '<input type="hidden" name="post_count" value="' . $i . '"/>';
        echo '<br>';
        echo '<div id="thecenter">';
        echo '<input type="submit" value="Save Settings" />';
        echo '</form>';
        echo '</div></div>';
                exit();
}
I then added the exit(); on the end of the original code section as shown above.

One thing to note though, if you want it to show up to title 20 you can
compare for title 19 and it will show title 20 due to the way the script works.

I hope this helps some of you, I've been doing various scripts surrounding cparedirector including randomising, these I may share in the future.

All the best
 
Hei there everyone. I searched this forum but still no answer.

So, lets saz that my BH traffic source is my wordpress blog itself.

If I install the plugin there, this wont work. Right? Because if they check the referer they will see my blog, and that is what i want to hide..

it is confusing for me
 
I think I got the wordpress plugin working ok, but how can we test that the referrer is showing the URL without the ?mn=2222?

I checked my cpa network reports and i can't seem to get any detail on the clicks from my traffic, which is where i assume they would investigate.

edit: i found these recommendations earlier in the thread but i still trying to figure out how to use this to check the referrer:

Code:

http://ipinfo.info/html/privacy-check.php
http://www.whatismyreferrer.com/

In the CPAredirector page, put this http://www.whatismyreferrer.com/ instead of your affiliate link to test. Than just go to yoururl.com/?mn=2222 and you will go to whatismyfereer. you will see where you came from
