Tech How to control my traffic easily?

[sathack1]

The network of sites is growing every month. Works with marketing sex dating in four countries.

Sometimes I need to change tracking links every month for a new campaign or company. Which starts to get tricky and takes time to do on all pages manually. Would have looked for a solution a long time ago: P

Is there a plugin (wordpress) or service that allows adult traffic where you can, for example, have fixed links on all pages in the network and then control all clicks from banners, text links in a control panel and decide where the traffic should be sent to right now?

Some kind of tracker or something. Any tips on a good solution?

Make a phpfile, and link to that file instead of your affiliate link
In that PHPfile, you do a 301 redirect

So yourdomain.com/redir/dating-partnername.php -> sends the users to https://yourpartner.com/aff?=adv12345234

So if your partner screws you over, you can change the affiliate link everywhere, by just changing the URL in your file

That way you can track who follows your link and where it came from

isn´t google analytics for this?

I want more traffic... but don´t we all

Nice tip!!
But does that hurt SEO or SERPs? I heard Google does not like re-directs.

Google will not hurt you if you do it for functionality, like link-redirection or graveyarding old sites or pages

https://developers.google.com/search.../301-redirects

Google do the same thing with their url-shortlinks

You can always find people that will say it hurts you, but I have never seen it on any of my own sites or my customers, and I have been doing links that way since the TGP days, where I needed to be in control in case the affiliate program made changes
+ Google use it themself, so .. that is enough for me

Very cool! I trust your experience.
It's a great tip because if you have tons of links spread across tons of pages and sites making one PHP link change is the way to go.
