I hate nothing more than commission hijacking. I've written previous posts on how to cloak affiliate linksand you can find the direct link to these posts at the bottom of this report.In today's report I want to show you one of the best ways to cloak an affiliate link using a small piece of PHP coding. Before I show you how to do it I would like to share with you the end result.www.KarlMFoxley.com/recommends/AffiliateClassroom
Now doesn't that link look professional compared to the free link cloaking services and URL shorteningservices. URL cloaking using the PHP code method allows you to retain a very nice clean and professionalimage and remind other's of your website when you post the link on other sites (such as Squidoo andHubPages etc).
To use this method you will need a domain name and you can get these real cheap over atwww.GoDaddy.com. You will also need a hosting account and one of the best providers I continuallyrecommend is www.HostMonster.com. For this method you will need to create a folder within your selected domain and name it 'recommends'as shown in the screenshot below. You can do this directly in your FTP software or on your desktop.
1.Right click on your desktop and
2.Select 'Folder'.
Name the folder 'recommends' or something that you wish to use.

Now you'll need to open up notepad and type the following code exactly as it is shown below. You can just copy and paste it by selecting the text, right click and select copy and then right click and selectpaste.
<?phpheader("Location: ");exit;?>
Save the document by clicking on file and selecting '
Save As
'.Now name the file '
index.php
' shown below (1) and choose '
All Files
' as shown (2).All you need now is the URL you wish to cloak and the name of the URL string that you want to add tothe end of your cloaked URL.For this example, I created another folder inside the 'recommends' folder and named it'
