Fake URL Redirect

2

Quite often I want to make a fake URL redirect, I usually do this and then make a 'page' rather than a 'post' in my blog, which means it will have a really neat URL and not look like an affiliate link.

Here's an example of setting up a fake URL redirect:

I have just been setting up an affilliate deal to sell Article Post Robot which is a software that I am currently evaluating.

however the URL for the affilliate link is really ugly:

http://www.srtsoft.com/cgi-bin/lyre.cgi/jvm/package/go_homepage.html?pack_id=664&aff_id=2592

I was seriously not into using that so I have used a little bit of code in a page to make it a little neater, here it is…

<script type="text/javascript">
<!–
window.location = "http://www.srtsoft.com/cgi-bin/lyre.cgi/jvm/package/go_homepage.html?pack_id=664&aff_id=2592"
//–>
</script>

The page is www.ricklomas.com/article-post-robot which is much much more tidy.

Hi Rick,

I like the idea of a javascript solution to this problem, but I don't see how, in your code, you actually specify the 'fake' part of the url: i.e., the article-post-robot section. How is this done? Am I missing something?

Thank you,

Hi Kat, the URL is a page (rather than a post) I have made in this blog and the code is in the page, it's as simple as that:)
