Help With CPA Redirector.. Real Quick

Well I am trying the stand alone version of Brad's CPA redirector.

So I uploaded the file and everything. Then he says to call the file like

somesite.com/whatever.php?mn=1234

I did this but it is not redirecting.

Can you think of something I did wrong?

You have to set the magic number in the script and then use that number after ?mn=

Assuming you have done that, have you also filled out the rest of the required config settings?

Yeah I set the right magic number, just set the redirect to Google just to test it out and used the JS redirect

Will this affect page rank? I have a couple of blogs that rank on the first page of Google for a particular keyword. If I redirect using CPA redirector will I be thrown off of the first page of Google by using it? Would WP-Cloaker be better? Thanks

If you are using the stand alone version (not the one installed on blogs), make sure that you copy and paste all of the code into the very top of the php page (above the <hhtml> tag).

Be sure to save the page as a php page (make sure that your server can run php and isn't windows based - unless it's specifically a windows server you're probably fine).

So now,you should have your page named "whatever.php"

Now, in the code that you just placed above the html tags, there is a line that should say:

$cpa_offer_url =

now inside of the single quotes (the quotes that are ' ' ) put in the url of wherever you want to redirect to (so put in google if you want).

Now just above that, is your magic number area - you can change it to whatever you want or leave it as 1234 if you want.

Save and upload this file, and then call it as you said (somesite.com/whatever.php?mn=1234)

It should redirect like a charm

Will this affect pagerank: no

You are only using this url to hide your referrer - not for seo, and because this is done in php (which is a server side language) google doesn't see the code.

Because of that, your page rank shouldn't change, as they would be referenced as "whatever.php" not "whatever.php?mn=1234

Hope this helps
