Tracking affiliate links?

.jd. · 07-21-2008, 06:16 AM

I couldn't find the thread that I cam to earlier. So I figured I would just ask for help. I am looking for software or a technique to use to track my affiliate link. (number of people clicking it)

As well, anybody know a decent way to cloak affiliate links?

Very basic example:

PHP Code:

  <?php 

 
/*  mylinks.php */

 
  $ids = array (

    1=> "your first affiliate link here",

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/affiliate-talk/495097-tracking-affiliate-links.html
    2=> "another affiliate link ...",

    3=> "a third affiliate link");

 
$i = $_GET['id'];

 
header('Location:$ids[$i]');

 
?>

On your page:

HTML Code:

 <a href="mylinks.php?id=1" rel="nofollow">Buy it now!</a>

That's a little oversimplified - you should do some error checking and data sanitization and might want to log stats into a file or database (though you'll have them in your logs anyway), but that's the general idea ...

either use usercash.com or ucash.in to track your clickthrus plus you get paid by them separately but don't use both, for they are competitors.
