    Hallo,

    I am just at a begining to create I think a good blog. Alredy post a few articles and some of the other SEO promotions - all free so far.

    Blog is created on first october.. I am now about to write my second blog post and it come with a new affiliate link.

    For the first story I registered separate domain name.

    But did any one know the way around?
    With domain name you get free forwarding and aff. link musking.

    I dont like to see on the landing page all those # and leters.

    Any one can help with this?
    I have also a web site which I can use like space for fotos or downloads..

    Any sugestion, idea or good link - where to find info about this subject is welcome.

    All the best

    Christopher

    Here is a method.

    Step 1) Open notepad and copy the following code into it

    Replace the link with your desired affiliate link.

    Step 2) Save the file with any name and extension .php.
    Like 123.php

    Step 3) Upload the file in the root directory of your domain.

    All done. :D

    Now the URL http://yourdomain.com/123.php is the masked affiliate URL.

    If you need any help with this, feel free to ask.

    So we have to do this everytime we use a different affiliate link?

    Yes you have to create different file for your each affiliate program.

    I think JohnChow is using this technique.
    Like check this post of John Chow
    http://www.johnchow.com/why-you-need-a-popular-post-section/

    he has used the same technique for TLA.

    Sorry to tap on this thread as well as being a little of topic.

    But I would like to know if anyone have any idea how the sponsors ads are being put onto John Chow's site? I mean like manually or by any plugin..

    I assume it's wordpress powered.

    Thanks in advance!

    Use any free php hosting service to get URL of form yourdomain.freehostsdomain.com/1234.php and there place codes mentioned by arpit


    If you look at my blog on Make Money Online i manually put sponsors after they buy advertising..per month basis...(like i charge $6/month b'coz it's new blog)

    there are no tools for it i assume and we can have a adsense like PPC (pay per click) ads using some tools....there no manual work is needed...not recommended at all

    Hey sat123,

    Thanks for your response. At least now I know that manually done by hand. Came across quite a number of blog sites with ads like this and kept me thinking how it was done. Thought, it could be done by a plugin or something. You've clear my doubts..thanks~ :)
