Affiliate link hiding

[Clam]

Is there a script that does affiliate link hiding and counting of out-clicks? I could do this with a traffic trade script, but that is more software than I really want, or I could write it myself, but I have enough on my plate already; I'd rather buy a script...

There used to be one free script but it was terribly written and using it on big traffic would backfire. I am sure there are other scripts which doing same, but writing it on your own is so trivial so that is better choice anyway.

Yeah, you are probably right. I guess I'll get to work... :D

Maybe a short url script? I use one off codecanyon for link tracking.

If all you want is a basic way to to hide the link code from the visitor and count the clicks it's as simple as something like:

yoursite.com/link.php?url=pornosite.org

link.php:

<?php

$url = $_GET['url'];

$file = $url;

$hit = file_get_contents ($file);

$hit = intval($hit) + 1;

file_put_contents($file, $hit);

header('Location: https://www.'.$url.'/affiliatecodestuff=123456');

?>

Obviously you can add to that with more security or logging, preventing the same IP registering more than once, etc.

You could use .htaccess if you're not looking for anything overly complex.
