Shorten your affiliate urls with a redirect
Posted by: | CommentsWhy should you create a shortened link for your affiliate urls ? Because you need to be able to recall your links off the top of your head and typically affiliate urls are long and cumbersome.
Why you shouldn’t use a TEMPORARY service like bit.ly or tiny.url to do so ? Because these free services are not always 100% reliable and after you have spent hours of your time placing links in forums and directories or on your site when the link stops working all of those links will no longer work.
You need to create these links on your own server. If you don’t yet have your own hosting Click Here to get some from just $4.95 a month.
