Simple URL Mask to Hide Affiliate Links

Here is a neat little trick that is easy to do and will mask those ugly affiliate links. This method is a simplified version of what I had made when I created the Build a Niche Store v2 URL Masking Mod. You remember, it was the first url masking to be coded for Build a Niche Store and is surprisingly similar to what the developers ‘created’ and released months later in v3. What a Ko-inky-dink! This trick is for any link you want to mask, if anyone using BANS v2 wants to know how to incorporate this into their stores and mask all those eBay links just let me know and I’ll post the instructions.

This little program here simply hides all your affiliate links, pointing them back to your own site. When a user clicks on the link the program filters the correct response and sends them on to proper website with your affiliate link. There are many other ways to do this but I like this one because it only requires one file rather than making a seperate file with a redirect for every link. It is much more efficient and keeps the clutter down.
