1. HTML: Open Notepad or an html editor software and copy-paste the following:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE></TITLE> <metahttp-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.companyname.com/affiliateID=yourname"></HEAD> <BODY></BODY> </HTML>After pasting the text above into Notepad or the html editor, you need to change the red link to your affiliate link, save the text as html (like: companyname.html) and then upload it to your webhost. After that all you need to do is link in your blogposts to: http://www.myblog.com/companyname.html .
2. Javascript: You need to copy and paste the link below to your website’s html code. Of course you need to change the red link to your own affiliate link, and the green link to the promoted company’s link. The trick in this link cloaking method is simple, the code below controls what the web browser’s status bar shows to the visitor. The only problem with the Javascript link cloaking method is that the visitor will be sent to the http://www.companyname.com if the visitor turned off Javascript.
<a href="http://www.companyname.com/affiliateID=yourname"onmouseover="window.status='http://www.companyname.com'; return true;"onmouseout="window.status="; return true;">Click Here</a>3. PHP: The shortest method, open Notepad or an html editor, than copy paste the following code into it and save as .php (like companyname.php). Also don’t forget to change the red link to your affiliate link.
<?header("Location: http://www.companyname.com/affiliateID=yourname");?>
Don’t buy expensive link cloaking software, use these methods for free.
