    Hi,

    I want to hide my affiliate links and two methods am considering.. PHP redirect and cPanel Redirect.. which one offers maximum conversion????

    minterest.com/go/HostGator.php

    or

    minterest.com/HostGator ???

    When a visitor see these two URL in their status bar which one looks like as an affiliate link??? Or which one looks more natural????

    I think the second one looks natural and the first one looks like you're sending them some links.

    Thats just me.

    Keep in mind that sometimes cPanel re-directs don't work. It depends on the program/offer. In some cases you'll get a error page.

    What do you mean by dont work??? I know that we cant redirect some URLS which is complicated like this domain.com/daf?had%2222.....
    and I guess this works for PHP redirect....
