New hide-link affiliate

Anyone join this? Is a new website that can help to hide links. They also have affiliate program and $5 pay for joining. A referral is $10. I think this is too good to believe. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Haaa..ehm.. its not really hard to earn money. Its about time. How many days will take to earn from this site. We earn from referring and also from clicking.

Its good. But i like to see some proof payment.

When I check it out, the site looks very suspicious to me. Did you notice it derek? The webmaster just put the ads in between when you try to create a link and it says "waiting to reload". It just want to trick you to click the google ads. Hard to explain here but as I say, very suspicious.

Yap. Its trick. But i wonder about the proof payment. If something like this, must be we will see some proof payment at any site or forum. Must be many people also promote it right?

I think it's sick to see this kind of tricks being played on us. Sooner or later, they will get their adsense account getting banned and the next thing you know they site will be long gone together with whatever you earn. Typical of a scam site which we see everyday.

I haven't seen the link yet, but please don't do anything that will prompt Google to put your site in the garage. Usually, those sites are just crap sites, so don't fall for the sweet-talks. Online success comes only with hard and smart work, and the bottom-line of online success is to gain T-R-U-S-T of the visitors to your site.

Guys, be careful with Google. Do not risk your account under any circumstance.

If you want to hide your links, do as follows:

Create a new folder on your PC. You can name it anything you want. I suggest you to keep it short, because you are going to upload it to you server later and will have access to it through your browser.
I'll call it ads for this example.
Open Notepad, copy this code and update it with your affiliate link.
Code:
```
<?php
header('location:http://put.your.affiliate.link.here')
?>
```
Save the file inside the folder you just created. Give the file a convenient name for you to recognize it, something like myfavoriteaffiliate.php , just make sure that the file extension is .php . Repeat these steps for as many affiliate you want to hide. Make one .php file per affiliate.
Upload the folder (with the php files) to your server.
In your website, change all the affiliate links to point to their respective .php file inside the folder you just uploaded.

Your affiliate links will look like this

Code:

http://www.your.web.site.name.com/ads/myfavoriteaffiliate.php

Disallow the ads folder in your robot.txt file. (I hope you know what the disallow does ). For this example we named the folder ads , so you will add this line to your robot.txt
Code:
```
Disallow: /ads/
```
Test your links.

There are ways to combine all the .php files in one file, but I won't mention them here, so you don't get confused. I'll leave that one for some other time

Hey thanks Jordi! That is knowledge that I needed!

blueT · #11 (**permalink**) 04-02-2008, 04:53 AM

Wow. I never know it before. Did you came up with the knowledge yourself? Where did you get it?

It surely could save some space in my site. Looking forward for the next tips.

Geee...does that have anything to do with blackhat? Since you need to Disallow the ads folder in your robot.txt file so that the spider won't crawl on it and help to keep it safe. What if they managed to find out?
