Coming to you straight from clickconsultants.com is a quick run through on how to use PHP on your affiliate website to Redirect all of your Affiliate Links. There is much debate on the different ways you can accomplish this task. This article just explains the PHP way to do it. This method allows you to control several affiliate links on your website from one location. Much easier to manage. Follow me!

If you hovered over a link using this method, you’d most likely see a URL that looks like this…

http://www.clickconsultants.com/goto/wordze.php
or
http://www.clickconsultants.com/recommend/wordze.php

So let’s explain how this works. The first thing you need to do is log into the FTP of your site and create a folder. You can give this folder the name goto, recommend, or whatever else you may feel works well for your site. The next step is to open up notepad or any other simple text editor and add the following code to it

<?php
header( 'Location: http://www.youraffiliateurl.com/' ) ;
?>

You would of course replace www.youraffiliateurl.com with the actual site or affiliate offer that you want. Next, you simply save this file using whatever name you want that would describe it. For example, I could link to Wordze and save the file as wordze.php. Next, upload the file into the folder your created above. You know have a link which would look something like this.

http://www.clickconsultants.com/goto/wordze.php

You can then use this link in all your articles, landing pages, etc and if you ever need to change the affiliate url, you would simply open up the wordze.php file and change the link, thus, allowing you to change the link across your entire site instantly.

I love funny t-shirts! Bustedtees.com as well as Snorgtees.com are two websites that I check often to see what new shirts are available. I swear they have the funniest shirts you can find anywhere. But one problem I do have is that I don’t always appreciate the crude humor. I enjoy the clean stuff, stuff that makes me laugh without having to be “dirty”. Both Bustedtees.com and Snorgtees.com have a ton of both clean humor and dirty humor tee shirts. Here’s an example of some of their stuff:

So what I decided to do is create CleanTees.net - a compilation of all the clean/funny tees from both sites combined. So if you appreciate clean humor like me, you can just use CleanTees.net to search through all the clean ones, without having to view the dirty ones. I have not yet added all the snorgtees.com apparel quite yet. But all of Bustedtees.com is in there. As well as some funny tees from CafePress.

From an affiliate marketing perspective, this idea came from a frustration of having to look through crude humor to get to clean humor. So I decided to create an avenue for people who are interested in this topic. I spend about 1-2 hours every week updating the site to keep it the most up to date with new products. The images are Ads that come from my Commission Junction account. I get $5 for every purchase that comes through my website. The website itself is a simple CSS template, that I customized. The website overall took me a total of 3 1/2 hours to completely put together! Not too bad!

My new found love for affiliate marketing online is Widget Bucks! I have heard many things about Widget Bucks over the past few months but paid no attention to what people were saying. I’ve been sucked in. I typically don’t like banner ads but Widget Bucks has a different way of showing ads on your site that you can make money off of. You also make money on a cost per click basis rather than having to depend on someone purchasing through your website which is always an advantage. If you are interested or already involved in affiliate marketing online and don’t currently use Widget Bucks go sign up right away.

You can use Widget Bucks in a few ways. Remember, the first step is having a website that gets a good amount of traffic each day. Whether it be a website of yours or simply just a blog. Make sure you are getting some traffic to your site or have a plan to get lots of traffic to your site. Widget Bucks allows you to post a widget which generates ads based on the content of your website. You can put that widget in a friendly place where it is more likely that someone will click on. You can also specify which particular topic of ads you want rather than relying on the tool to give you content generated ads. I personally use both. There are many bloggers and webmasters out their on the Internet today that are making pretty good money using Widget Bucks. Try it out for yourself with me and we can test together how well this tool really works.
