To convert an affiliate link to a link that appears to be from your site you could use a simple file like this one that would send the visitor to the Top Bonuses for Everyone | Slot Bonuses site
File name example = bonus.php
File code
//Include your affiliate link below
header(“location:http://www.slotbonuses.info/”);
exit;
?>Plus you can also download the casinos banner to your own site and then name it whatever you want. Then when they change the affiliate link structure, their domain name or you decide to promote some one else you just change your files ( bonus.php & casinobanner.gif ) without changing any page coding.
This is of course just the basics. You can find many more elaborate versions and added elements.
I’ve just come across this thread in a search and it seems to be along the lines of what I’ve asked in the newbies room.
Can you please break this down – I don’t generally deal with the technical side but am trying to understand it, so bear with me. I have a Joomla site and only ever use the WYSIWYG editor to change copy and only a very little bit in the HTML editor.
So your example above a redirect? Is this frowned upon or against the normal T&Cs and is there any disadvantages to doing this?
I think it’s essential for user experience and notice a lot of the big affiliates doing this, so I guess it must be allowed?
And finally…could you please break down the instructions so I can understand how to turn a link like this:
http://affiliatehub.skybet.com/processing/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_99999b_9
Into:
http://www.mysite.com/casino/skyvegas
So the below would be:
File name = skyvegas.php
File code
//Include your affiliate link below
header(“location:http://affiliatehub.skybet.com/processing/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_99999b_9/”);
exit;
?>
And then you put http://affiliatehub.skybet.com/processing/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_99999b_9 in the article.
So this will then pull ‘skyvegas.php’ as the info to display in the browser….?
Many thanks!
