Facebook for Professionals: How To Use Facebook To Strategically Market and Grow Your Business by Facebook Business Coach, Mari Smith.

How To Make A Redirect Link

Why would you want a redirect link? So it's not so obvious you're promoting an affiliate link!!

It's a personal choice... but does provide you with more options (e.g. promoting through social media without being obvious you're using an affiliate link).

When you register for my FREE affiliate program to promote Facebook for Professionals, your default affiliate link will look like this:

http://podclass.com/podclass/course/index.php?courseid=142&aff=xx

(Where xx is your affiliate ID number).

And, instead, you can change the link into something more attractive and memorable like this:

http://yourdomain.com/recommends/facebook4pros.htm

Here's what to do:

STEP 1:

Open up your web editing softare such as Dreamweaver or Frontpage.

Then, create a New Folder. I like using 'recommends' - I have a whole bunch of redirected affiliate links for various programs in there! (Make sure it's all lowercase as anything after your main domain name is case sensitive).

http://yourdomain.com/recommends/facebook4pros.htm

STEP 2:

Create a New Page (blank).

And copy & paste this code into the HTML

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Name Recommends :: Facebook for Professionals</title>
</head>
<body>
<SCRIPT Xlanguage="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
</body>
</html>

Change the parts in red to your own Title and, of course, insert your proper affiliate link.

STEP 3:

Save the file as a name you'll easily identify and that is a word, not a code or acronym. e.g. you'll see I used 'facebookguide'.

http://yourdomain.com/recommends/facebook4pros.htm

You could go one step further and create another New Folder called facebook4pros and save that as a sub folder under 'recommends.' Then save the New Page as index.htm in the sub folder. Then your redirect link won't have the '.htm' at the end. e.g. like this:

http://yourdomain.com/recommends/facebook4pros

STEP 4:

When you're finished; upload (ftp) the file and folder/subfolder to your web server... and VOILA!!

Want to know another good reason to have a redirect link? Google search engine ranking!!! Because your redirect link is an actual page on your server, you'll get indexed and can appear in search results on Google! That means people could click on your affiliate link, register, and you'll get paid!

NOTE: be sure to include a Title - as this is what shows up in a Google listing.

NO purchase necessary.
