I was wondering if there is anyway to cloak an affiliate link using html. But it doesn't require me having my own website (such as a redirect through a website).

This is because I'm trying to cloak a link on USFreeAds.

The html code I've seen so far through researching has only been useful if I've got my own website.

Thanks (and an apology for the noob question).
 


thanks for that glowleaf. I was actually using that but thought there might of been a different option using html.

My only concern with tinyurl or others is if there's an expiry date on how long the url's are active. Therefore if I'm making lots of ads I wouldn't want to have to go back and change all the old ad's affiliate links if they've expired.

Would they expire? Does this occur with tinyurl? :s Or is it not an issue? :s
 
Nice Daniel.

I don't like using the url shorteners. I'm paranoid and there's always the chance they're inserting their own affiliate code.

Yep.
1. Start url shortener site.
2. Get folks to use it like crazy.
3. Change all the links to whatever you like.
4. Profit!


Works with free host sites too..

Hehehee... umm ahem... or so i've heard....
 
Sweet thanks guys. And glowleaf I couldn't find anything in their Faq's, so that's why I asked.

Anyway I'll implement Daniel's ideas he found.

Once again thanks guys, I appreciate the help you're able to give me. =)


edit: It seems as if I'll have to have my own separate website to link to, with Daniel's methods. Though I could implement the javascript method.
 
If you want to eventually have a good rev stream, you are gonna most likely want to have your own server or shared hosting to setup your own sites on. Then you have full control...

Yeah that's my eventual goal after the next couple short term goals I've got planned. I'm starting to make a little bit of money (well for a noob anyway) so hopefully I'll start creating some decent cash flow in the not too distant future. =)

You need to look at this tutorial from AskApache.

301 Redirect Cheatsheet - mod_rewrite, javascript, cfm, perl, php, refresh, python

Below is a preview. In your .htaccess file you can specify a redirect location for any webpage on your server, even if it does not exist, or I should say especially if it does not exist. Let's say your fake webpage is called thisword.html and your affiliate link is going to be example.com, just copy and paste some of the examples shown below to get started. Let me know if this helps.


Redirect with mod_alias in apache htaccess

301 Redirect

Code: 
Redirect 301 /thisword.html http://www.example.com
or with RedirectPerm

Code: 
RedirectPerm /thisword.html http://www.example.com
or with RedirectMatch

Code: 
RedirectMatch 301 ^thisword\.html$ http://www.example.com
302 Redirect

Code: 
Redirect 302 /thisword.html http://www.example.com
or with RedirectTemp

Code: 
RedirectTemp /thisword.html http://www.example.com
or with RedirectMatch

Code: 
RedirectMatch 302 ^thisword\.html$ http://www.example.com
 
If you are using USFreeAds for bum marketing I would move on. That site stopped ranking a long time ago

(Just trying to help you out)
