I ran into a problem with my hoplink for advertising via search since the hoplink created is a long encrypted URL of jumbled letters and numbers, these advertising networks don't accept them apparently. Is there a way to use a different hoplink other than the crazy encrypted one? Would using 'http://www.vendorsite.com/?hop=affiliate' rather than the created hoplink work to still get credit for my sales?
Nope, that would not work. Here is how it should be done: http://XXX.pwdreset.hop.clickbank.net where XXX is your Clickbank ID, and pwdreset in this case is the ID of the vendor, product. Most of the products have affiliates pages where this link has been displayed.
Hey thanks, that worked. Well for adwords and yahoo... however adcenter still has something against a clickbank destination url for some reason. its really weird.. I tried http://xxx.vend.hop.clickbank.net and it didn't accept it. Then I tried http://xxx.vend.hop.clickbank.com and it accepted it. Of course the second one is a link to nothing, and it makes no sense why it would accept that one and not the first one... Maybe microsoft is just useless?
So the domain redirection is still okay with PPC? why not recommend him to make landing page as well as have a domain? some somain seller provide free some megabytes to host a some HTML as landing page.
