After reading about using the nofollow tag on another forum for affiliate links, I decided to go one step further and redirect the links using PHP – for example:
http://www.mysite/go/agreatcasino
I’ve tested it and it works, however, unless my stats just haven’t been updated for the last few hours on one of my affiliate sites, that ‘clicks’ I did didn’t show up. (I clicked 3 times at least, and only have the one link to a casino using PHP so far on my homepage, top right of the page if you’d like to check it yourselves).
should I be worrying? Or with using PHP, all my links will be counted? I am guessing yes!?
Thanks.

There can be redirect by using php also but i need to check the script if its being used correctly
I’m using PHP + Header(‘Location: greatcasino/affiliateid’); and i have no problems. For affiliate programs it doesn’t matter if you click the link or redirect it, as long as you pass the affiliate id or whatever tracking method used by the affiliate program.
Well, it’s taken me ages and ages to convert all of my links, and nearly done and will re-publish my site!
I’ll be watching those clicks
