Hey guys, I feel like a grade A noob but I really can't figure out this html cloaking explanation that clickbank is giving me: <html> <head> <title>Loading page...</title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;URL=http://AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net"> <script> url='http://AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net'; if(document.images) { top.location.replace(url); } else { top.location.href=url; } </script> </head> <body>Loading <a href=http://AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net>page</a>... </body> </html> I thought I was beginning to understand it but I'm hitting another wall here. I thought that to cloak that way I simply had to create a new html page, paste nothing but that code in (replacing affiliate and publisher with my info), save it within the same folder as that which contains my landing page html file. Then I thought all I had left to do was to make every location, on my landing page that I wanted to go to the publishers page, link to that new html page I just created and it would redirect with no visible link to the publisher's site but my hoplink is still on there, silently and secretly. TELL ME HOW I'M WRONG AND WHAT I CAN DO TO FIX IT PULLLLLEASE! Sorry to be so urgent, but this techie bull**** is slowing me down and wasting time I should be spending on more important marketing aspects. Edit: Yeah I added the html link and even did a notepad file save with copying all that info, I don't understand, the links still work fine but they still read my stupid hoplink while hovering the mouse over the hypertext and even in the browser after I click it, not very cloaked at all! What am I doing wrong??
here... Let me give you a couple of scenarios that you can use. hell with them web designers! Method 1. Javascript redirect: use a window.location method for javascript: <script language="javascript"> window.location = "http://affid.pubid.hop.clickbank.net"; </script> Method 2. If you know PHP, check this out too! <? header('location: http://affid.pubid.hop.clickbank.net'); ?> And if you have any questions, let me know. and btw, I do not laugh, I do help affiliates with their tech questions if you have any! Check out my IM or PM if you do have a question! Tom Howell The Forex Guy
i agree, using a php redirect is a lot easier. Checkout http://www.cdfnetworks.com/a-simple-way-to-cloak-your-links/ for a really easy way to cloak your links.
For me HTML and PHP is the same sh!t.. Everything is ok with the coding you've written, but take out the <script> bit, because search engine robots don't read that.... Leave the rest, and make sure you name the file, where you put the coding "index.html" Otherwise it won't work.
This is causing a 2 second delay in the redirect. Change it to 0 and the page will reload straight away.
