    Hi,

    When I go to the link detail at CJ, I saw the following:

    Advertiser allows URL redirects for this link.
    Advertiser allows image redirects for this link.


    Can anyone explain to me what are the functions?

    Thanks.

    That's mean the advertiser allow to you using redirect method with link and images. More information :

    You have website http://yourwebsite.com/ . You put affiliate program in that with the link http://affliate-program.com/item1.html .

    In this case, you don't want to put http://affliate-program.com/item1.html , then you can create a page like : item1.php in http://yourwebsite.com/ . URL will be http://yourwebsite.com/item1.php .

    In http://yourwebsite.com/ , you put a text linked to http://yourwebsite.com/item1.php . Then this page will redirect to http://affliate-program.com/item1.html .

    Benefit from this method will be :

    - Hidden affiliate link in your website
    - Increase % of your earning

    Nope.

    "Advertiser allows URL redirects for this link" means that the advertiser allows deep linking.
    You can link to a specific item on the advertiser's website by entering it in the destination field.
