How do you mask affiliate links in a report

[Nelson Swett]

I'm finishing up the report that I've been working on for the last few weeks and wanted to add my affiliate links to the products that I discuss and recommend and suddenly I realized that I don't know how to cloak the affiliate links in a document (I'm using openoffice to create the report) Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Nelson,
Here is a post from Lynn on that subject. You knew I would have one of those didn't you? LOL

#1 Reason to Create Affiliate Redirects (http://www.clicknewz.com/1504/redirect-affiliate-links/)

In the above post there is a link at the end of the post that you will need to click on as well.

Hope this helps!

I knew that there was probably a post somewhere on Clicknewz, but I couldn't find it specifically. I must be a bad searcher. Thanks Angie!!

Okay Angie, I read both of those posts and neither of them included instructions on how to cloak (or redirect) links for a report .pdf or otherwise. There were several references of the need to do that for a .pdf report. But nothing on how to do it.

Oh wait...can I just use the .php redirects that I already have set up on my site?

[angienewton]

Yes, that would be correct (I'm pretty sure!). I do all my redirects through XSitePro so I don't use the method Lynn has on her blog.
