Mass PHP Redirect Code For Affiliate

Just Open your notepad and use this code.  For example, I’ve changed and added this links…

<?PHP

if ($o == “1″) {$link = “http://www.google.com”;} // Default link
if ($o == “2″) {$link = “http://www.yahoo.com”;}
if ($o == “3″) {$link = “http://blogote.com”;}
if ($o == “4″) {$link = “http://bangaloreloka.com”;}

header(“Location: $link”); // Jump to the hidden affiliate URL above
exit();
?>

You can see that I have inserted a different URL depending on the number 1, 2, 3, 4.

Now save this file as links.php or anything you feel like. It’s your choice! After saving (I saved as links.php) upload it to your wordpress installation directory. Done! Now whenever you want to redirect your affiliate link or mass it, just add this link to your blog post

<a href=http://www.yoursite.com/links.php?o=1>My link</a>

This will redirect and present the visitors with the first link (in my case it is Google.com). Pretty easy and you can mass bulk affiliate links for your website or product landing page.
