If you have publishes articles on markers like I do then you certainly met the "no affiliate links" line. The rule prohibiting not affiliate links outright, but actually. Here's what the line says:
You certify that you are not in all articles with direct affiliate links in them.We reject articles with direct affiliate links. it's OK, but forward/redirect to an affiliate link from the top level of a domain name you own.
In other words, if you have a domain "foo.com" is it OK to put a link (in the resource box only) to the URL "http://www.foo.com" or the URL "http://foo.com" as URL immediately sends the visitor to an affiliate link. But you can't link to another page on the site that does the same thing — only the main page of the site is allowed this exception to the rule "no affiliate links".
Why does have this rule submission?It comes to quality. a lot of sites that embedding affiliate links on their pages are of dubious quality, and submission are trying very hard to only linking to quality sites, so that they are high page rankings can take.(Human-based examination of items that are central to its design is a big reason why submission is seen as an authoritative source of content by the search engines.)It also requires some effort and commitment on the part of the author of the article, which has for the purchase of a domain name to use as a forwarding service.
Can automatically forward your domain registrar for each domain that you yourself to a URL of your own choice, but there are some advantages to do the submission-friendly domain forwarding itself. And it's not hard to do at all as long as your Web hosting service supports PHP (which is virtually anyone).
Let's say I want to promote a ClickBank product called Burn the Fat, feed the Muscle, a very legitimate eBook on exercise and weight loss. I begin by purchasing an appropriate domain, in this case feedthemuscleburnthefat.com (no, it's not very creative). I want to set the domain so that anyone who is on a link to feedthemuscleburnthefat.com then will be automatically redirected to burnthefat.com using my affiliate link.
Everything I do creates a file with the name index.php using a text editor such as Notepad. Four lines is everything I needed:
I place this file on the Web server, and Bingo!, visitors are automatically redirected to the official burn the FAT site.
You can do the same with your own site, just my affiliate link above (set in the second line of the script) is replaced by your own affiliate link.
The nice thing about the Redirect method above is that it is a "302 moved temporarily" redirection command back to the Web browser and not a "301 moved permanently" redirection command sends.This difference is important.You've probably heard that use a 301 redirect to when you move or rename a page, so that search engines will update their indexes (and Google PageRank). that's right, but this is not the time to do a 301 redirect.You want a temporary redirect.
Why? at some point in the future you may want to forward shall be replaced by your own landing page. links you've collected on the site will start passing PageRank to the new index page, not to the vendor page as it would with a 301 redirect. therefore, is to set up your own domain to promote an affiliate product using that a temporary redirect an easy way to find an affiliate product is through article marketing without the establishment of a "good" site.
It doesn't take a lot of work to do a bit of conversion tracking with the PHP script above.ClickBank, for example, offers a "tracking ID" or "tid" function. here's what ClickBank says about how to keep track of names:
Tracking IDs are short descriptions that you create that are added to the end of your HopLinks. The tracking IDs up to 24 characters long and must consist only of numbers and/or letters (no punctuation, or other symbols). when a sale is made using one of your HopLinks, the tracking ID passed in ClickBank of reporting, so you'll be able to see exactly which of your promotional efforts led to the sale. your tracking IDs are only visible to you, so that the supplier will you customers can order your tracking IDs.
Use a tracking ID, just add "?tid = xxxxxx "at the end of your ClickBank affiliate link," xxxxxx "is replaced by the actual tracking ID.
A tracking ID to add to the script of the redirection above is done by changing the second line of the script:
Now when I get a sale for "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" I can look to the tracking ID column in the ClickBank reports and when I see "ftmbtf" I know the sales came through my domain feedthemuscleburnthefat.com.
Then I'll show you how to script tracing to change even more accurate.
