    If I set up a php redirect from my landing page to my hop link URL, will it register as a click in Clickbank?

    php redirects are better than meta redirects (what getgains offered) because search engines don't consider them as spam.

    OK, thanks for all the help. Is there an advantage to having my own landing page over using a redirect? It just seems so much easier to send someone directly to the page where they buy the product and also sets the cookie.

    Yes, there are lots of advantages to landing pages. The two big ones are the ability to pre-sell the visitors (they're more likely to buy) and the ability to capture email addresses (and market to them later).
    (Note to myself: I need to save this answer in a text file and copy it here whenever this question pops)

    What do you mean by pre-sell them? It seems like the advertisers pitch page generally has the best sales pitch, no?

    Well, not always. Your pre-sell is basically to warm them up and get them prepared, so they're more ready to buy once they hit the main sales page. Though this does require you to actually know how to pre-sell... I've gotten that skill through my bum marketing.

    Also, some people don't trust .php links. So, therefore I make a new folder for every redirect I do, within a "recommends" or "likes" folder. For example, http://lemonarian.com/likes/cbpayday/

    Just make a new folder, make your redirect in a text editor. After I've uploaded it to the specific folder, I rename it to index.php... it won't work otherwise.

    To use the example of "CB Payday", this is what the index.php file looks like:
    <?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://acousticp.cbpayday.hop.clickbank.net" );
?>
    PHP:
    Or you can do a html redirect, just name it index.html instead.

    Here's one:
    <meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html">
    HTML:
    I'd recommend the .php version though, because it's a lot smoother and less "clumsy". And for the reason stated above too.

    I hoped this cleared things up.
