protecting hoplink

Discussion in 'ClickBank' started by sean83, Aug 2, 2006.

    How do I cover up my hoplink when a user rolls over a link leading to a clickbank product on my site. I think it looks unprofessional and scheming when a user can see your clickbank hoplink.

    I am not looking to buy any products to do this for me because I have heard there is a certain html script that can do this for you.

    Thanks Anyone:)

    Use this line in your A tag
    onmouseover="window.status='http://www.somesite.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"

    if u do have a website, just create a html with redirect script to your hoplink. for example: sean83.com/blabla.html .. when visitors clik on that link, it will be directed to your hoplink. You can find the redirect script using google ;)

    AFAIK, works for everything. It's just a link with redirect.

    Use a PHP redirect. This is what I did...
    1.Make a new php page and name it something like "productname.php"
    2.Then add this code to the page
    <?php
    header("Location: [b]HopLink_Here[/b]");
    exit;
    ?>
    Code (markup):
    :)

    Instead of tinyurl, use what R-ampage says. It will give you better control.

    Simply make a fast, custom or password protected safe url at my www.mmgurl.com url redirection service and hide your affiliate url.

    Fast URL = Enter your long url into our fast url form and get a short url created by our service.

    Original URL: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060825/...aq_base_looted

    Mmg URL: http://mmgurl.com/1Dd

    Custom URL = Make custom url like mmgurl.com/yoursite so this way you can track for your different websites.

    Original URL: http://www.clickrnetwork.com

    Mmg URL: http://mmgurl.com/clickr (clickr was my selection)

    Safe URL = Are you programmer, designer or have any important documents that you want to share only to your clients? Make safe url here and set the password then give our url to your clients. They will first be asked to enter password and then will get access to the documents or page.

    Original URL: http://www.clickrfunny.com

    Mmg URL: http://mmgurl.com/protect (password is pr)

    Check click stats here:
    http://www.mmgurl.com/go/stats

    Sub-domains are coming soon

    It appears to be a good service, specially password protected URL.

    I use a script that does something with the cookies, you never see the hoplink. I think You will probably need to understand coding a bit but its worth it. I think you can find it by searching for "Cblink Shield Affiliate Script".

    I use it together with another free script called "warpreactor" so that I can count the clickthroughs.

    Hope that helps

    Yeah, there's a bunch of sites that sell little scripts that do this. I coded a script for a friend a while back that he sells now. It's called 'Cloak link or something and it basically does what tinyurl does (only with your URL so you have control over it). Please note: This is not a shameless plug b/c I do not use/work for/do anything with this site... just made part of the tool lol!

    why not just use D95.com? You can even mask URL so that d95.com URL is the only one visible in the address line

    ^^ The problem with services like D95 and TinyURL above is that they tend to disappear once the spammers find them. Then, all that work you did goes down the drain. Along with sales. Check my sig for a PHP/MySQL solution that keeps all the links safely in one place. Demo available on the site.
