As a merchant, you can hide the clickbank affiliate id for your affiliates by creating a direct page and inform
your default hoplink to the redirect.
When several uses your hoplink http://hop.clickbank.net/?affid/yourid, the cookie wish be set and they wish land on your direct page.
The direct wish send them to your domain without adding the ?hop= information. The cookie is already set and makes not need to be shown.
This wish help protect your affiliates commission and give your site a much professional appearance.
In the code examples below, you wish need to replace [ and ] with less then and greater then symbols.
Create a file called hoplink.php
Add the following code
[?php
header("Location: http://www.yourdomain.com");
exit;
?]

2) How to Cloak Your Clickbank Marketer Id Mistreatment PHP
Most clickbank affiliate felony is caused by the fact that is easy to build a hoplink and get credit for your own purchase. All you actually need to cognize is the marketer id.
All you have to do is look at the source code of a typical sales link and you wish see the marketer id.
For example: http://www.clickbank.net/sell.cgi?YourVendorId/1/Product_Description
To build the hoplink you just use http://hop.clickbank.net/?AffiliatesId/YourVendorId
Now once
you click on the hoplink and the innovational affiliate has lost a sale.
As you can see, without knowing the marketer id, you can not with success
build the hoplink and the affiliates sale would-be be protected.
Below is an example of how to do this in PHP.
You wish need to replace [ and ] with less then and greater then symbols.
Create a file called order.php
Add the following code
[?php
header("Location: http://www.clickbank.net/sell.cgi?YourVendorId/1/Product_Description");
exit;
?]
Just replace YourVendorID with your Clickbank ID
Replace 1 with your product number
Replace Product_Description with your Product Description
Upload order.php into the same folder as your sales page.
Now link to order.php instead of mistreatment the raw order link and your Marketer ID is ne'er
exposed
This wish do it really hard for affiliates to rob different affiliates of their commissions.
I encourage you to do these simple changes to protect the commissions of your affiliates.
