Hi folks,

For my cloaked pages, I want to redirect my human traffic directly to amazon.com without having a site by self.

So the visitor clicks on my result in the serps -> he lands at a amazon subpage the next second.

This don't work out - clicks/sales aren't displayed in my amazon partnernet control panel.

Amazon Affiliate Support first don't answer for 3weeks, then has no idea.

Can anyone help me out?
I appreciate it, thanks!

Steve
 


Ok with any amazon or ebay link you also get a wee image that needs to be displayed. Your best bet is to setup a coverup shopping site. Then add a php page that logs some info about the viewer, loads the image, then meta refreshes to the amazon link. Sounds more complicated than it is. It's not instant as the internet browser will see another webpage for about a second before it redirects. I just put some text on the page before the loaded image saying Loading...

You may also want to check for referer before redirecting. I log referer and haven't had any problems but I have seen some people doing a double meta refresh. ie google > redirect page 1 > redirect page 2 > affiliate

Call the script out.php or go.php and setup a mysql backend to store all the user information and the outgoing urls.

Done and dusted.
