How To Redirect An Affiliate Link
Re-directing affiliate links is not just about making your url more attractive but it creates trust with your list. One of the main reasons affiliate links are redirected by internet marketers is because it’s assumed that searchers will either shy away from them if they recognize them as affiliate links, or they could sign up for the affiliate program themselves and purchase the product under their own links.
But surely that doesn’t happen does it? Well, I’m not judging anyone but here’s the truth, internet marketers only make up a small proportion of people on the internet and the chances of another marketer recognizing your link as an affiliate url are slim to say the least. The majority of people on the web are non marketers and when they come across your offer the likelihood they’ll recognize or search for an affiliate link is pretty remote.
Re-directing links makes more sense if you have a list. Creating a redirect with a “recommends” approach is a powerful thing when you have a list you’ve bonded with and they trust you.
