Affiliate Marketing with Adwords: Looking for a redirect script.

    Hello everyone.

    I'll try to layout my situation as simply and briefly as possible:

    I'm working on several Adwords and YSM campaigns using several affiliate programs. I'm sending everything direct to merchant. I know that's not the optimal solution, but that's what I'm working with at the moment.

    I'm looking for a script, perhaps in PHP, which allow me to redirect all of my ads through one of my own domains. It would basically look like this: mydomain.com/redirect1.phg would redirect to merchantdomain.com/landingpage1.php.

    Since I do a lot of deep-linking, the script would have to handle many redirects. I would also need to pass on (keyword:default) data via the redirect. Any additional functionality would be a bonus, but is not required.

    In case you're wondering, the reason why I'm interested in using such a script, is to protect my keywords from merchants who might be interested in undercutting my campaign. I'm hoping that someone has used a similar script, and would be willing to recommend it. Thank you.

    I downloaded and installed prosper202 today, and it seems to have a ton of promise. I did run into a snag, however. The script requires all of your affiliate urls to end with the SID paramater. Unfortunately, that is not a possible with some of the campaigns I'm running. As a result I might be forced to keep looking further. One possible alternative might be PPC Coach's script.

    Another other suggestions would be appreciated.
