Need SE friendly way to mask aff tags

Bonus Paradise asked 4 years ago
hey everyone
I been reading here and there and still dont know what I should do best
I would need a really easy way to mask/hide aff links on static html pages

I like very much the htaccess option
but then I did read this could be bad in the eyes of google??

And the other thing, will I then still be able to see clicks in certain aff accounts?

Can anyone suggest me something please.

Thanks
Marina

you can use htaccess redirects w/ no problem.. you can wrap an analytics pagetracker around each link so you can track each link clicked.

you are very welcome!

htaccess is only readable by your server or scripts on your server.. no need to worry about it being readable outside.

Generally it’s recommended to protect the .htaccess file itself by adding to it:


order deny,allow
deny from all

[/CODE][CODE]

order deny,allow
deny from all

[/CODE]
