Excellent article Mark,
I have looked at many sites and not come across such a site as yours that tells you what you really need to know about affiliate marketing.

If you have to you can always use something like http://tinyurl.com/. While it's not perfect it'll still hide the link. Also lets you softly place them in Twitter and Plurk.

Try this for your htaccess problems:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^link/([/_0-9a-zA-Z-]+)$ link.php?id=$1 [L]

# WordPress rewrite entries go underneath

Thanks for the reply Mark, I know why it’s used, I’d like to make the link look like that, but I can’t get it to work. If you can figure it out please let me know (email or IM, I might not check back here on the post.) You should add a subscribe to comments option :)

Hey Egonitron, the rewrite rules are just for additional style points in making the link look better. I think there are some issues with WordPress, it is not working for myself either.

Great article, but the ‘/link/keyword’ doesn’t work. What was the point in the .htaccess mod if that doesn’t work?
