How to hide that incredibly long and ugly affiliate URL.
There are simple Java scripts you can use to do this, but the easiest way is to include an HTML refresh tag on your page. Create a page for your affiliate program. Name it whatever you want.
Add this code to the HTML:
<html><body>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;
url=http://www.youraffilliate********">
</body></html>
You don't need any HTML on that page but that. Remember to change the URL to the URL you wish to use. Now when you advertise this program, instead of sending visitors to "http://www.incrediblylongURLthatistolongtoevenfitononeezineline.com?cgi1234567" Send them to the page you just created with the above code.
Suppose you named that page 1234, then you only need to advertise your affiliate program with "http://www.yourdomain.com/1234.html" When viewers click on that link they will automatically be redirected to your affiliate URL.
Pretty basic, but very helpful to a newbie...Hope you enjoy...
