If anyone wants to check the destination link, you will not be secured anyway . Even if you used page with frame…

2 days ago I received submission into my directory… It was so-called web hosting… I was curious why the bottom line of my browser didn’t show me data loading from that domain. Instead, it was showing other domain’s name… Just few seconds later my eyes spotted same URL inside of the browser’s URL box no matter where I was clicking on that site.

Of course I rejected such submission… It was frame.

I just would like to say that sometimes you should sell something what’s your own product rather than being an affiliate…

You will find most people are using one of many specialist tools such as Adtrackz for creating redirects.

Often it is necessary to mask the link at the other end as well, so that in the browser the URL is sticky.

Editing your .httaccess file sometimes is a little tricky, especially for beginners, so as you say Kian Ann, this way is safer!

Thanks! Another way is to amend the .htaccess file for Apache web servers… but I think your way is the ‘safer’ way – it does pay to screw up the .htaccess file!
