I want to hide where my traffic is coming from on an affiliate offer because it doesn’t allow this traffic. I have my funnel set up like this...

traffic source - domain redirect- affiliate offer

will the domain that redirects to the offer hide where my traffic is coming from or will the advertiser still be able to see my traffic source?

@vario150 sums up everything regarding your redirect question.

I would also add that, if you can mingle with HTTPS headers, you can stripe out the HTTP referer header if is present.
 
Would be careful if you are running large traffic. Affiliate house finds out and rejects your payment. Small scale probably ok, large scale watch out.

You can spoof the referrer to get this done. There are php scripts out there that can get it done. You just need to set it up on your server and you are good to go.

You can't spoof referrer with PHP. The http referrer is a request header. PHP can only set response headers.

I do believe it was a combination of js + php, if i remember correctly. but the idea is to spoof the referrer
 
It depends on what technology the advertiser is using BUT several continual redirections get lost in almost all the systems, you can buy 2 or 3 domains and do several redirections, this can be useful not only to obscure traffic sources but to avoid domain banning.
 
simple redirect with 3 seconds timer for example on your website, it will get rid of the original referral and redirect where you want to go...
 
well the easiest way to hide your traffic source is to use a tracking software (most of them have this option)..

for ex...

The advertiser can still see your traffic source. Use cloaking services to hide your traffic source

adsbridge.. but it's not the only one that can blank or modify traffic source (most trackers can do it)

But AdsBridge is expensive, hope we can find something free or at least cheaper for new starting up affiliates.
 
an easy way would be to use a redirect domain, or use cloaking software.
 
Cloaking is the only way I know to do this reliably.
 
You can null the referrer for your website, there are some websites to do that just google for it. If you are using a blog post on your blog just add a norefferer tag to your affiliate link in that post.
