Can I use javascript to hide commission links so that visitors won't see that it is an affiliate link? something like <a href="http://...." onmouseover="window.status='ABC'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;"> Doest this against commission junction TOS?
I do not think there is a problem, but you cannot mislead visitors. Otherwise, people should click on the new link for the same reasons they would have clicked on the original one. Advertisers no not like having any kind of clicks, even if they do not pay for the clicks, but for the results.
If I cannot see where I am going I wont click. That happens to most people. If you use URl shortening service, when people hover over the link they find weird numbers and stuff. What I do isI ignore those links even if i want to click and head over to google and search for what i just read. See you lost a potential lead. Try to use redirecting plugins like w shadow for wordpress
i mean with url rewrite. Instead of seeing a link like "www.abc.com/affiliateid=12321", I want it to look like "www.abc.com" so that visitors won't know it is an affiliate link. I'm not mislead the visitors to click or anything, they will still be seeing the same link. Its just some people hover the link and see it is an affiliate link and they won't click. If they see it is a regular link, there is a higher chance more people will click.
no its not against rules of cj because many affiliates do this and they are using it successfully.so try it and also search different affiliate sites and check their link too.Dont be confuse and use it! thanks
Just click "encript link" when you are getting the code from cj. They will create code for you that makes it appear as if the link merely points to the url of the site.
All things you asked about are not against CJ rules, but I guess a 302 PHP redirect with url rewriting would be good for SEO links then should be like : wwwabc.com/r/12934/kaspersky_premium_blah_blah * r as rediretion * 12934 will let the redirection script know where it sould redirect the request * kaspersky_premium_blah_blah a description for people who read on the status bar, it will not be used by the redirection script. One major advantage of using a php redirection script is that it will allow you to have advanced tracking of click count, referrers, visitors locations or IPs...
Why don't you just buy a teeny info domain there like $1.99 and redirect it to the aff link? that way it looks preeetttty professional and you have a domain farm starting.lol
this is what I use <html> <head> <title> </title> </head> <script language="JavaScript"> eval(unescape('window.status='Opening Pagehttp://www.website.com'')); s=unescape('<embed src='http://www.youraffiliatelink.com' width='2' height='2'></embed><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;url=http://www.website.com">');eval(unescape("document.write(s);")) </script> </html> replace website with the ww.website.com you want and replace your affiliate link with the your real affiliate link!!!!!
So, I don't think the question is it against CJ rules, but against each publisher, no? CJ does have some policies, but each advertiser can have different regulations.
