One of the best ways to cloak your affiliate links is by using domain redirects. Not only this will help to preserve your links and ensure that they remain intact, but by using domain redirects you can actually benefit a number of other ways, including:
Domains Become Valuable Assets
When you redirect a domain through to an affiliate program, they can quickly rank within the search engines. This means that not only will you be able to make more money as your affiliate link is showcased in the top search results with search engines like Google and Yahoo but once your domain has positioned itself within the rankings, it becomes extremely valuable. This means that should you wish to stop promoting the product later on, you can simply redirect your domain to another property or sell it as an aged domain.
Aged domains always hold more value than newly registered ones because they are already established and are out of the “Google Sandbox”, meaning that they are already generating traffic and therefore easier to rank for in the search engine results.
Maximum Exposure
Most communities and forums don’t respond well to affiliate links being included in signatures or even in posts, BUT when you cloak your affiliate link by using a domain redirect, you can easily add it to your forum profiles, community pages and even in emails sent out to potential buyers yielding a much greater response rate than if you posted a traditional (and obvious) affiliate link.
Higher Rankings In The Search Engines
We touched on how domain redirects will help you rank within the search engines but it’s worth mentioning that you will NEVER be able to maintain this ranking using a regular affiliate link. I’ve had several domains that were redirecting through to affiliate promotions manage to secure ranking within the top 10 listings on Google, and when this happens you will instantly see an incredible increase in the commissions you are able to generate.
The thing to remember when using domain redirects is to choose a domain name that focuses on relevant keywords so that you are able to boost your ranking within the search engines for specific search terms. For example, if you were planning to promote a product called “Acne Free System”, you could consider registering a domain name such as:
Acne-Free-System.com or
AcneFreeSystem.com
By having these keywords incorporated into your domain name, you stand a better chance of ranking higher in the search results.
Increase Your Click Through Rate
It’s been proven that affiliate links cloaked with domain redirects tend to receive a higher number of clicks than standard affiliate links. It could be due to the cosmetic appeal of the domains, or in the fact that those clicking on the links aren’t aware that they are being directed to a vendor’s site from an affiliate link but for whatever reason, you are likely to experience a higher CTR when you begin using domain redirects. Make sure to split test different domain redirects as well to see which domain is performing at its maximum potential!
Use The Domain In ALL Of Your Marketing
When you use a domain redirect to promote a product, you can use it within all of your marketing campaigns, including article directory submissions, classified advertising, forum advertising and even press releases. It not only looks more professional, but using this technique will instantly boost your overall profits. In order to set up your domain redirect, all you need to do is register a domain name first.
Then, you can choose to redirect two different ways. The easiest is by using the “URL Redirect” option from within your domain registrar account, where you can just set the URL to point the domain to your affiliate link. The second option is to install a redirection script on your website’s hosting account, which is a simple PHP script that simply tells the users browser that when they land on the page, they need to be redirected through to the merchants website. You can set up a php redirect by creating a text file called “index.php” and adding in the following code:
header( ‘Location:
yoursite.com/new_page.html ‘ );
Change the code on the redirect page to be simply this. You need to replace the URL above with the URL you wish to direct to. Be sure that you do not have any text sent to the browser before this, or it will not work. Your safest bet is to simply remove all content from the page other than the redirect code. Upload the file to the root of your domain and you’re good to go!
Tip: You can also use domain shorteners as well that will take your affiliate link and create shorter URLs that are often easier to use in marketing campaigns (and they look better).
