1) How To Remove Your Affiliates Clickbank Id From TheURL.As a merchant, you can hide the clickbank affiliate id foryour affiliates by creating a redirect page and pointingyour default hoplink to the redirect. When some uses your hoplinkhttp://hop.clickbank.net/?affid/yourid, the cookie will beset and they will land on your redirect page. The redirect will send them to your domain without addingthe ?hop= information. The cookie is already set and doesnot need to be shown. This will help protect your affiliates commission and giveyour site a more professional appearance. In the code examples below, you will need to replace [ and] with less then and greater then symbols. Create a file called hoplink.php Add the following code [?php header("Location: http://www.yourdomain.com"); exit; ?] Upload hoplink.php to the root of your domain.Login into your clickbank account.Click to view or modify your account settings.Click to modify your account. Under Business Info, change the url of your website to behttp://www.yourdomain.com/hoplink.phpClick on save changes.Now when a visitor clicks on a hoplink, it appears thatthey came directly to your site and the affiliates id isno longer exposed. For this technique to be completelyeffective, the affiliate needs to cloak the hoplink aswell.2) How to Cloak Your Clickbank Vendor Id Using PHP Most clickbank affiliate theft is caused by the fact thatis easy to rebuild a hoplink and get credit for your ownpurchase. All you really need to know is the vendor id.All you have to do is look at the source code of a typicalsales link and you will see the vendor id.For example:http://www.clickbank.net/sell.cgi?YourVendorId/1/Product_DescriptionTo rebuild the hoplink you simply usehttp://hop.clickbank.net/?AffiliatesId/YourVendorIdNow when you click on the hoplink and the originalaffiliate has lost a sale.As you can see, without knowing the vendor id, you can notsuccessfully rebuild the hoplink and the affiliates salewould be protected.Below is an example of how to do this in PHP.You will need to replace [ and ] with less then and greater then symbols. Create a file called order.php Add the following code [?php header("Location: http://www.clickbank.net/sell.cgi?YourVendorId/1/Product_Description");exit; ?] Just replace YourVendorID with your Clickbank ID Replace 1 with your product number Replace Product_Description with your Product Description Upload order.php into the same folder as your sales page.Now link to order.php instead of using the raw order link and your Vendor ID is never exposed This will make it very hard for affiliates to rob otheraffiliates of their commissions.I encourage you to make these simple changes to protect thecommissions of your affiliates.
