Online Casino

[link-gambler]

I’m looking for a good way to hide my affiliate links, I’ve noticed that a lot of people use a casino.html file to send their players to the casino. To me it seems less like hiding and more like presenting a clean interface. Is this just a simple http redirect set to like 0 seconds?

Secondly, I’m looking for a way to rotate the banners on my site. I’ve found lots of javascript and php that will rotate the banners but I’m wondering if there is one that will keep track of basic stats, hits, views, clicks etc.

Hi, to cloak your links, edit your htaccess file in the root of your website. Just add a 301 redirect for each link. Lines should look like this:

301 redirect /go/to/casino1/ hxxp://myaffiliatelink1.com
301 redirect /go/to/casino2/ hxxp://myaffiliatelink2.com
301 redirect /go/to/casino3/ hxxp://myaffiliatelink3.com

or you can add an extension..

301 redirect /go/to/casino1.html hxxp://myaffiliatelink1.com
301 redirect /go/to/casino2.html hxxp://myaffiliatelink2.com
301 redirect /go/to/casino3.html hxxp://myaffiliatelink3.com

Alternatively, you can use actual html files with 0 second redirect in each one, but it will work slower than a 301 in htaccess.. it is also more work to make them manually

Im not too familiar with using javascript..

Hope that helps..

I’d say they use something like a casino.php to count the number of outgoing hits, and to also automatically redirect the traffic to any casino they want, without having to update multiple pages.

Counting your own hits, you can rely on your stats, and compare the hits being counted on the casinos end – then you can make an educated decision on whether the traffic you are sending is converting to an amount you are happy with, or if there is a huge discrepancy between your hits counted, and the casinos hits counted.

You can setup a htaccess file like Play above described too.

I use what Play mentioned above, in combination with a database and a php script.

eg my links look like
http://www.sitename.com/go/32red
http://www.sitename.com/go/slotvegas

I have a htaccess file in the
http://www.sitename.com/go/
directory which catches the “32red” or the “slotvegas” and stores it into a variable.

the variable which contains the “32red” is sent to a php script, which updates the counter in my database.

the php script then grabs the URL to send the traffic to from the database, and does a redirect of the user to that URL.

Let me know if I can help you set something like this up.

thanks for the great tips. With this type of setup I should be able to use a simple javascript banner rotation script and still get stats of a more complex php banner server type setup.

why not do it using Google analytics? you can track every link clicked, on your site or specific links / events with a few lines of code.

This is also possible, its actually much easier to implement then what I am proposing.

Havok do you have Google Analytics installed?

If you use WordPress platform, prettylink plugin is all you need.
