Hey guys I have been using tinyurl to hide my affiliate code. the problem is I can not get it to register as clicks when people click on my tinyurl. I having this problem with linkconnector. can someone help?
 


no, not yet. I could you .htaccess i believe but I found this easier but I think I will have to do that for linkconnector campaigns.
 
i don't recommends hiding url through tinyurl. if tinyurl messes up your url, you are screwed...
 
also at any point a tinyurl service can switch the link to their own affiliate id for a few hours then switch it back. They could even do rotating on the link to rotate between your id and their id.

Don't trust someone else with your traffic. Use that link posted by Icecube to get a real redirect going.

Tiny URL Messes Up

Yup, I've witness this yesterday. I went to check on some month old links I posted and when I clicked on the link and it wasn't counting my aff code any longer. Needless to say I was pissed.

I moved to hosting my own redirect links using a "recommends" redirect.
