The first link tip will show you how to track your ads and promotions

2. Directing Visitors to Other Pages
This tip illustrates how to use our advanced tracking system to direct visitors to pages other than the main Auction Hot List home page. Generally you'll want to direct people to the Auction Hot List homepage using your standard referral URL, but there are 3 other pages you may want to use as well.
All that's involved is a simple change in the way you link to The Auction Hot List. No matter what type of ad or promotion you're doing, you can add a "page" variable to your links as shown in the examples below. As always, just be sure you use your own unique Affiliate username in ALL of your links!
Here's how to direct your visitors right to the Affiliate program overview and sign-up page. If it fits your strategy, this will obviously help you to sign-up more sub-affiliates - just remember that no one makes any money just for signing up a bunch of other affiliates.

3. Using Your Own Domain in your Links
The third link tip involves a little-known HTML redirection strategy that is especially useful for increasing the effectiveness of your links used in e-zine ads, or any other ads or promotions where your Affiliate URL is visible (as opposed to hidden within an HTML page as a hyperlink).
Throughout the Affiliate Support Center we've demonstrated various ways that you can link to the The Auction Hot List web site using the unique Affiliate URL that you were assigned. This works great in most situations, but there is a slight "problem" using it when your link has to be visible.
Because there are so many affiliate programs on the Internet these days, most people are pretty familiar with how they work. One usual "tip off" that reveals to a potential customer that you are participating in an Affiliate program is your unique referral link. With The Auction Hot List that would be:
http://www.YOURSITE.com/tahl.htm
This is a lot better than many other programs which assign Affiliate URLs like:
http://secure.ibill.com/cgi-win/ccard/rscookie.exe?RevShareID=YOURIDHERE&returnto=http://www.ebsdiscounts.com
... but even the Affiliate link our system has assigned you can tip off a potential customer that you are participating in an Affiliate program. There's nothing really "bad" about that, but in general it's better if it appears you are promoting your own web site. Here's how to accomplish that ...
1. Create a sub-directory at your site such as http://www.yoursite.com/tahl/
2. Use the following HTML code to create a new page called index.html
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://secure.ibill.com/cgi-win/ccard/rscookie.exe?RevShareID=YOURIDHERE&returnto=http://www.ebsdiscounts.com">
</head></html>
3. Place the index.html you just created into your new Auction Hot List directory.
That's it! Now you can use http://www.yoursite.com/tahl/ in all of your ads and promotions, and when someone visits that URL they will be automatically and instantly re-directed to your Auction Hot List Affiliate URL. The re-direction is invisible to the naked eye, and you will see an increased response to all of your links done this way. We strongly suggest using this tactic for your e-zine ads, etc.
