Section 9: Setting Up A Simple PHP Redirect

Setup Your Redirect: (Simple Method)

First you need a domain - it can be any domain, name means nothing in this case. It can even be laksdjflkasjdfkas.com! You pick.



After you've got all that setup, you will need to make your PHP redirect file. Here is an example of it. http://jonathanvolk.com/goto/redirect.txt



You can copy this into notepad, save as index.php (or whatever you want to  name the file), and replace the url with your affiliate link. Make sure that the affiliate link ends with SUB= or the variable that equals sub id from your affiliate network.



Now in your ads you will link to your http://www.YourDomain.com/index.php?sub=1234. Change the value of sub= to whatever you want so you can track each different ad.

To setup another offer, simply make another redirect file, upload it to your domain, and you're done.



To see what converted, pull a SubId report from your affiliate network, and Bam, instant breakdown of what is working and what is not. Simple enough, right?

This is a very simple method that can work on nearly all traffic sources. If you decide to setup tracking202.com or prosper202.com, you won't need this.
