    Hello Friends,

    I like to thank you for reading my post and wish you give me a good tips about it.

    I have a long affiliate link like this:

    http://www.vigrxplus.com/clicks/clickthrough.html?a=tadisaus

    Should I place a link like that on my site or should I use redirect it?

    For example, can I create an empty page to store this long affiliate link, and redirect it?

    Which way is better for SEO to get indexed on Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other search engines?

    Thanks very much.

    Your tips is appreciated.

    You talking about buying a domain name and redirecting it to your site. I would go w/ the long URL.

    No, I am talking about if I can create a new page and put the redirect link on this page, whenever a user click on a link, it will redirect to the affiliate link.

    You could cloak the url, you could use a redirect from your site which would be my suggestion. Either way, the url isn't going to get indexed, but the page you put it on will.

    example.com/redirect

    Can you please show me how to cloak the url?

    Here is what I did on a new redirect page:

    <HEAD>

    <SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

    <!--

    window.location="http://www.vigrxplus.com/clicks/clickthrough.html?a=tadisaus";

    //-->

    </SCRIPT>

    </HEAD>

    thanks.

    Redirect them because the visitors don't like such a long URLs.
    They look very nasty and could be suspicious ==> your conversion would suffer.
