Hide your Affiliate Links using PHP file

9 June 2007 17 Comments

If you want to make more money and profit from your affiliate links, you need to display them in different way. Don’t use the default link generated by your affiliate program script. Instead, hide it by using PHP file. [tags]php, html, affiliate tips[/tags]

I hid all my affiliate links in PHP file. You can see those links on my sidebar, under Featured Sites (Get Free $25USD, RM100 Advertlets Contest, Earn More Money ). Since the affiliate links are hidden, my earning from affiliate programs increase.

To create the PHP file is simple. I use Text Link Ads affiliate link for this example. Open your Notepad and paste this code.

<?php header(“location: http://www.text-link-ads.com/?ref=20378”); ?>

Next what you need to do is save it with .php extension and upload it to your server. I saved that file as tla.php and uploaded it to my /register/ folder on my site.
