This
page describes how to set up your links to go through
your domain rather than directly through 1ShoppingCart.
Instead of something like this as the
link:
http://www.mcssl.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=xxxxxx
You can have something like this
instead:
http://www.yourdomain.com/go/ap.php
This has several advantages over the
standard link:
- It looks nicer
- It's easier to change - If the
1ShoppingCart links ever change (or we switch to another
affiliate program), you only have to change links in
one place.
To setup something like this, use the
following PHP code in the link page (ap.php in the
go directory):
<?php
header("Location: http://affiliateLinkURL");
?>
<html>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Your web host must support PHP,
but this is widely supported by virtually every hosting
company. Here you would just replace the 'affiliateLinkURL'
with your true affiliate link.
Finally, you can use a service like
www.tinyurl.com or
www.metamark.net
to create short URLs representing your affiliate links. |
