1) How To Remove Your Affiliate's Clickbank Id From The URL
As a merchant, you can hide the clickbank affiliate id for your affiliates by creating a redirect page and pointing your default hoplink to the redirect.
When some uses your hoplink http://hop.clickbank.net/?affid/yourid, the cookie will be set and they will land on your redirect page. The redirect will send them to your domain without adding the ?hop= information. The cookie is already set and does not need to be shown.
This will help protect your affiliates commission and give your site a more professional appearance.
In the code examples below, you will need to replace [ and ] with less then and greater then symbols.
Create a file called hoplink.php
Add the following code
[?php
header("Location: http://www.yourdomain.com");
exit;
?]
Upload hoplink.php to the root of your domain.
Login into your clickbank account.
Click to view or modify your account settings.
Click to modify your account.
Under Business Info, change the url of your website to be
http://www.yourdomain.com/hoplink.php
Click on save changes.
Now when a visitor clicks on a hoplink, it appears that they came directly to your site and the affiliate's id is no longer exposed. For this technique to be completely effective, the affiliate needs to cloak the hoplink as well.
