It seems to me that when I learned about affiliate marketing, one of the more important details hammered into my head was that of protecting my affiliate links. I thought long and hard about the problem and didn’t quite figure out what that meant right away. It wasn’t until after weeks of Googling and reading the webmaster forums that I discovered what was meant by “hiding” my links and it took me even longer to figure out how to implement such a thing.

After a long time of playing, and fiddling I now have a jump script that works well and one that helps me keep all of my links organized and in one place. My script is super easy to use and I’m confident that anyone who can edit a text file can work with my jump script. This script is written PHP, but don’t be afraid! Down deep, it’s only text!

It is with great pleasure and delight that I want to offer you my script, FREE OF CHARGE, for you to use and redistribute as you wish…as long as you promise to never charge anyone any money for it. That’s just bad karma.

Code explanation

This is just one big PHP “case” statement. A case statement is likened in human language to “if this is the case, then do some action”. For this example, we are taking the case “01″ and assigning a URL to the the variable $site. Once outside the case statement, we set our page to redirect to the variable we put inside the case statement.

How to Use the Jump Script

The first thing you have to do is edit the $site variable. This is where you put your affiliate URL. Make sure to encapsulate the address in quotes. After adding your URL, save the file and upload it to your server.

Now all that you have to do is create a page that uses the script! This is the easy part. All you have to do is create a normal link, but instead of having the “a href” point to some long affiliate site, you point it to the script so a link to “case 01″ would look like a href=”go.php?id=01″.

Take a look at my advertisers on the side of this page. Those links all use my jump script.

There you have it…a free, full featured jump script that protects your affiliate link codes for you to use and share!
