Redirecting Your AzoogleAds Links
Tutorial by Lucas Lemanowicz
Azoogle, like other CPA affiliate companies, requires that users redirect their offer links through their own system. This can be very beneficial as it will most likely increase your clickthrough rate, and you will be able to track your own statistics to optimize your ad placement.
So how do you do that? Well, there are many ways. The first way is to use one of those public URL redirectors the internet is oversaturated with:
However, this might not be the solution you are looking for because the links are off-site and visitors might be hesitant to follow them. If that is your concern you can use PHP and Apache ModRewrites to create your own redirectors:
PHP Code:
<?php
header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: http://www.your-ref-link.com/ref.php?var=123');
?>
Save the above file as a PHP file (for example free-ringtones.php) and upload it to your server. Then open a new file (which will be the .htaccess file) and type the following:
Link Structure: site.com/free-ringtones
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^free-ringtones$ free-ringtones.php [L]
</IfModule>
Link Structure: site.com/free-ringtones.html
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^free-ringtones\.html$ free-ringtones.php [L]
</IfModule>
Link Structure: site.com/free-ringtones.htm
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^free-ringtones\.htm$ free-ringtones.php [L]
</IfModule>
If you have multiple offers, copy the second last line as many times as you want and change it accordingly:
Code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^free-ringtones$ free-ringtones.php [L]
RewriteRule ^free-dog-biscuits$ free-dog-biscuits.php [L]
RewriteRule ^get-a-free-goat$ get-a-free-goat.php [L]
</IfModule>
That's where I will leave you off. I hope that this short tutorial was simple enough for even the most technophobic web earners out there. If you still have questions feel free to give me a shout.
