hi, this is really true.

“if you set up a redirect link, all you have to do is update your redirectâ€¦ and your commissions will keep rolling in. ”

With redirect page, you can easily manage your affiliate link. I’m now using wordpress for seo clickbank products and considering changing my affiliate link now.

Great post, Lynn. Boy was I aware of the problem…

I learned the hard way about raw affiliate links when perhaps our most important provider changed all his links – and we had massive links out there in articles, Squidoo lenses, blog posts, web pages… on and on… and I had to manually search for and change every one I could find!

It took a couple of days, and still incomplete (due to articles that have been distributed virally).

How much better we would look to visitors, and how many more sales we would make, and how much time and frustration I would have saved if each of his product links was changed ONCE on a redirect page!

Now I’m off to the other post to see which way is best to accomplish this…

Lynn. Great tip on redirect links. This is something I have been doing that I find useful. I only wish I would have done it on my earlier sites

It’s a huge time saver and it also hides the ugliness of the big nasty links. Not that this matters in all fields but in some it does, IM for example.

Awesome video Lynn! I cloak all my affiliate links. There is so much misinformation out there about this subject. If folks stick to redirection vs. using framed cloaking they will be fine when it comes to Google.

Good guess, Duane – but nope In the video above I had just woke up from a long Sunday afternoon nap, had on shorts & fuzzy slippers, put on a clean shirt and threw my hair up in a twist – and started shooting.

I’ll probably publish that post tonight or in the morning. I look forward to hearing some feedback on it!

Hi Lynn,
I like Jason, didn’t think about the ease of changing links when one goes bad. Great tip. Thanks
Duane
P.S. Does the reason you don’t like video have anything to do with getting out of your robe, make-up etc?

The video genie is out of the bottle!

Click Newz will never be the same…

Lynn, if you’re not getting a promotional fee for wearing these T-shirts, you ought to at least be getting them for free!

Rock on girlfriend!

Ahh, gotcha! I was think more along the lines are a traditional redirect with a domain.

Thanks Lynn

Since the redirect is actually a ‘page’ on your domain, it shows up in your site stats.

I love the videos Lynn. I am not quite into affiliate marketing just yet but find this information useful.

I do have a question though. How would one track their results using a redirect?
