Are people using this method still and going without being banned? Forget the big networks…do the smaller ones take the time to look for this kind of stuff or do they welcome the sales regardless?

New to cookies. How are you guys stuffing cookies into forum posts these days? Almost none that I’ve found allow html so you can’t use that technique I’m guessing, and everything else is through that bbcode thing, that doesn’t allow images.

Email me if you can help out. anthony2610(AT)gmail.com

is there a way to change or blank the referer or not? i have tried with redirects, curl, sockets but i couldn´t hide the referer.

if there is somebody out there knowing a way, please tell me. Thx

Great post.. Im still new on this topic.
I have one quick question.

Let’s say I use the last technique (HTTP header)
If the merchant comes and opens my “tracking_pixel.jpg”
what picture will appear?

hi there,

this method works fine for me in firefox but in ie (8) no cookie will be set. is this a security matter? can there be a workaround for ie?

thanks

to hide referer don’t point to affiliatelink directly but to your own site and use a double meta refresh before sending it to the affiliate link.

or use referer cloaking tool.

Nice write up. I am not sure it should be out there spelled out but hey it’s your page.
In a way this post is helping the community get a few noob affiliate marketers out of the scene getting banned! lol.

Sorry, the HTTP REFERRER code.
“Now we put PHP code in tracking_pixel.jpg which checks the referring page.”

Where EXACTLY do i put this code? I use this code in .htaccess: Redirect /fakeimage.jpg http://affiliatesite.com and i stuff on forums using [IMG]mysite.com/fakeimage.jpg[/IMG]

Thanks.

I think u should make this post an “Pay to Read” thing lol. (I’m serious, u will get subscribers )

Well I have a quick question please reply if u have the time and feel like.

Though the last image method is pretty solid (htaccess / referrer checking) than others, i would like to know if the affiliate manager could read the content of this image file?

If yes could u give one method of how that could be done.
