I want to use a short url link for my affiliate link, and google allows a link shortner tool to do this. Just curious if anyone has used this and if it effects my Prosper202 tracking anyway?
Thanks,
What's the purpose of shortening the link? is it to hide it from the visitor?
If you're trying to hide the aff link from the visitor, you can just put the redirect in another .html or .php page and then link to that.
Yep , just use a php file to do the redirect , this way you can shorten it and name whatever you want.
Just use the code here :
[PHP]
<?php
header("Location: http://myafflink.com");
?>
[/PHP]
Thanks guys. I tried the php code and name my site myexample.com/lander.php but for some reason when i go to the site it wants to download the page, rather than redirect me to the affiliate. Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
I'm not sure how you'd manage to have the server offering a PHP download for the file when P202 is working fine... htaccess?
Do you have anything additional at all in the PHP file content? It may be easier to take this straight to your hosting provider...
Yeah that is a little strange. Is your p202 domain and "myexample.com" on the same server? It might be a bit hard to troubleshoot your server without knowing exactly what's in your scripts and server.
I agree with Zeno, maybe create a tech support ticket to make sure PHP and Apache is setup properly for your domains. I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.
