Ok i thought by linking cloaking when I send users to my advertisers after cloaking the the aff link it would show on their end (referrers) as from the cloaked link site but it doesn't, it show where it was actually was clicked from. Now I need to know to make the link is coming from another site but actually it is coming from somewhere else. I need to do some forum posting of offers to test for market first!
 


dude I don't understand what you're saying.

so the affiliate reports doesn't show the referrer as the cloaked link, it shows where they came from. that's great. but this:

totally lost me. what do you need hekp with and give more specifics
 
So you are trying to hide your referrer?

If you use a meta redirect it will show up as blank

yep this is what I am looking for. I want to hide the referrer. But I have new links everyday and meta redirect will take ages, is there any other way?
 
You need to redirect them via non javascript methods from the cloaked site.

Meta redirect takes 20 seconds to do.

No actually, you tell it how long to wait...

Super simple HTML redirect page:

Code:
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://newurl">
    <title>title goes here<title>
<head>
    <body> sorry! we have moved to
        <a href = "http://new url">http://new url</a>
    </body>
</html>
Change the 0 to however many seconds you want it to wait. And of course, change the URL... :-)

Hope that helps!
 
if you click on link on page, which direct to page with php code below:
<?php
header ('Location: http://youraffiliatelink.com');
exit();
?>
so, you will see on affiliatelink.com side http referrer not where your php script is, but those, on which you clicked first.
in case of Meta redirect, your referrer will be 'None'.
So, the question again, how to show referrer of site, on which redirect page is hosted?
 
You can use meta-refresh to hide you affiliate link but this is a MUST NOT forget to do - Add rel="nofollow" to link that linked to those affiliate page or your site would get penalized by ranked #650-750 like it happened to me before. I had to removed those page and use 301 redirect that page to homepage and my site ranking come back within a week.
