hello is there a way to hide my affiliate link so when the users mouse over it , it dont show my clickbank links . Example i have a clickbank affiliate link http://8e20ntf6r.hop.clickbank.net/ Code (markup): and im promoting example product from digitalpoint.com Code (markup): . So is there some kind of way when people scroll over to the link it shows digitalpoint.com Code (markup): instead of http://8e20ntf6r.hop.clickbank.net Code (markup): , and is that possible to do it via forum because i think i start promoting through forum . Thanks all please reply
i'm looking for a way that works within forum without having a domain , to put on signature stuff or straight post . Is it possible ? thanks for your reply
Very easy here ya go: Server needs to have javascript enabled. When the mouse hovers over 'Click me' the users will see www.promotingexample.com however, when the link is clicked, they will go to your hop link
If you want you can use a .php redirect so that people see an actual product recommendation in their status bar, if that is what you want to hide. Use this piece of code in a notepad file: <?php header("Location: yourhoplinkurl"); exit; ?> .. and name it product.php or whatever the name of the product you promote name is ..then upload it to your server and instead of your normal hoplinks now you can use http://yourdomainame.com/product.php Al.
This code won't work properly. You must create it like this: <a href="http://xxx.yyy.hop.clickbank.net/" onMouseDown="this.href='http://www.promotingexample.com';">Click me</a> The best way to cloak your affiliate links is through php, but you must have a server and a domain. You don't have to use Javascript and besides many surfers have their Javascript disabled which will make your link useless for them. Php redirect won't be affected by Javascript and is very easy to implement. Besides, this will look more professional and will pass on many authority websites which don't allow aff. links. You can find domain name with a linux server for less than $50 for one year. 99% of them have php enabled, but make sure before you pay for it. Once you set up your domain and server (example: www.yourdomain.com) create directory which will serve as a redirect (example: aff) and inside that directory create a file named index.php As a content of your file index.php put this: <?php header("Location: http://xxx.yyy.hop.clickbank.net/"); ?> then save your file. Now you have created a php redirect on your own domain. When ever you wish to send visitors to your affiliate link, you can now use this url: www.yourdomain.com/aff/ and they will automatically be redirected to your affiliate link without even knowing it. Now, all you have to do is to promote your url. This is a MUST and is absolutely worth investing in, especially if you plan to use forums for promotion, because with your domain you have an absolute control over traffic you send to your affiliate vendors. Why? Because building traffic takes a LOT of time, money and energy and if some of your affiliate partners deside to cut you off, cheat on you, or stop sending regular payments, you can easily in less than 1 minute switch that traffic to other vendor in the same niche. Or, if you decide to sell something in the future you now promote as an affiliate, this will save you all the time you invested. Hope this helps! Regards, DrJale

Php need domain and hosting which ill try to avoid first because im skeptical about this and thanks for your reply
You should use a domain redirect, .info's are only like a dollar. But I have seen people use tinyurl.com to hide their links.
well tinyurl , i quote this from this forum " 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"
<a href='http://www.promotingexample.com' onMouseDown="this.href='http://xxx.yyy.hop.clickbank.net/';">Click me</a> Code (markup): is that code useable on forum ? or it is just for html . thanks please reply
That is why it's worth to invest $50 for one year into your domain and hosting. That is around $4.2 MONTHLY. Many hosting companies will offer this for less, but reliable hosting with good domain name will be around $50 for year. And you have ABSOLUTE control over your traffic. Besides, you can create as many affiliate redirects as you wish on a SINGLE domain and hosting and you can change each and every one of them as you see fit. If you wish to risk it with TinyURL or similar company you may do so, but if they decide to go out of business, or disappear as you said, what are you going to do? Your work will go down the drain and getting this fixed later is VERY, VERY difficult, if not impossible! Besides you won't be able to switch your traffic if some affiliate vendor scams you or cuts you out. Than all your work will go down the drain, while affiliate vendor will continue to profit from YOUR traffic. And getting traffic is very difficult task that require hard work and dedication. I know you are probably afraid to take the risk of paying for domain & hosting, but remember that every business has a certain risk and you will have to accept it sooner or later if you seriously wish to succeed and IMHO $4.2 monthly can hardly be considered as a big loss. Think about it. Regards, DrJale
Yes, you are looking for the javascript function onClick(). <a href="http://www.LINK THEY SEE.com/" onClick="this.href='http://www.AFFILLINK.com/?r=15154'" target="_blank">ANCHOR TEXT OR IMG</a> Code (markup): I hope this helps! You cannot use these kinds of codes on most forums, and if you were to use them on most forums that do allow it, you would get banned fast. Do not circumvent rules, you'll only make hassle for yourself and get things removed. Online, you work is worthless if it doesn't stick long enough to matter.
