JS Redirect For Aff Link - Need help

pallyD · Jul 31, 2012

Code:

[COLOR=#FFFFCC]<a id="link" href="http://google.com" onclick="go();">Google</a> \\Put your regular .com link in this part[/COLOR]


[COLOR=#FFFFCC]<script type="text/javascript">[/COLOR]


[COLOR=#FFFFCC]function go() {[/COLOR]


[COLOR=#FFFFCC]document.getElementById('link').href = 'http://google.com/pda'; \\then put the aff link here[/COLOR]


[COLOR=#FFFFCC]}[/COLOR]


[COLOR=#FFFFCC]</script>[/COLOR]

This would give me a link to click and redirect to cloaked link, but I need it so it redirects immediately, i.e. no clicking just right as the user loads the page like a 301.

HTML:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.location.href="somelink";
</script>

put this code before the title tag. I didn't test it out, but pretty sure it should work. Then again I've been up for about 20 hours right now...

is there a reason you are using javascript as opposed to PHP? Here is what I do for my affiliate links:

1). Create a new folder on your hosting called "go" or "out".
2). In the folder, create a new page called index.php
3). paste this code in the index.php page:

Code:

<?php

   header( 'Location: http://www.affiliatesite.com/affiliatelinkID' ) ;


?>

4. When you create the page on your site, your new link will be www.yoursite.com/go

Agree with above as a server side answer would be best, as js can always be altered by the client.

You by no means NEED to use it, but cloaking your link from a potential buyer may prevent them from taking your commission when they buy.

@RightInTwo That will prevent them from seeing it when clicking, but e.g. ClickBank has the ?hop=pallyD at the end of the URL, but when you use php redirect the hop will still show. I managed to go to the google homepage with script I used, but it showed up in the browser URL box as google.com/pda, so I assume I can have it not show a "?hop=pallyD" while still giving me the commission.
Is this true at all?

For the meantime I just have the PHP redirect going until I can get this to work.

You can use a double meta refresh to cloak the link and also hide the referrer.

That's genius mate, and it seems to work with ClickBank. Thanks very much.

Happy to help. In fact, I think somewhere on my computer I have a script if you want it. PM me if you do and I can try and find it.
