Affiliate link click tracking

Post by ivytony »

As you may know fatwallet.com where members can get cash back if they shop through fatwallet links.

I'm going to do a similar website/forums. I know how to cloak affiliate links to make them look better. However, I don't know how to track who clicks affiliate link and if (s)he makes a purchase or not.

I am wondering if anyone here can give me a hint. I appreciate your reply.

Cloaking links is not reccomended - If i saw what a link was, and it was different when I clicked it, and especially if it was an advert, I'd be <span style='color:blue' title='I'm naughty, are you naughty?'>smurf</span> of and close the window.

For all your ad and tracking needs you could try: http://www.openads.org/
