The only way you can hide an affiliate link is if you have your own website. The best way to hide an affiliate link is to go to your cpanel or whatever it is you use for your website admin. Go to your htaccess file under your public_html folder.
Next, edit the htaccess file.
For this example, we will want the link to see “http://getricher247.com/SEOElite”, instead of the real affiliate link, which would look something like “http://username.1brynex.hop.clickbank.net”.
So, you would put the following code into your htaccess file.
redirect http://getricher247.com/SEOElite http://username.1brynex.hop.clickbank.net
Save the file and you are done! Just update the links on your page to go to “http://getricher247.com/SEOElite”. This will really send it to “http://username.1brynex.hop.clickbank.net”.
Hope this helps.

Link building is a science. Google and other major search engines rank your page on a few things like keywords and incoming links. If you have a lot of incoming links, you have more weight. The higher your weight, the more times you will come up in a search engine and the more traffic you will receive. Link building can be very complicated.The are several ways to build links.
-
Write articles and insert a back link to your website at the bottom of the article.
-
You can insert backlinks into your blogs or someone elses blog.
-
Get involved in forums and include the link to your website or blog in your signature. Post a lot! And post in many forums. Not just one.
-
Submit your link to directories (I have a huge list on the left column of this page).
-
Look for websites that are similar and ask them if they can link to your page. If they say no, tell them that you will also link to them if they can link to you. Ask Nicely!
-
Create pages that are lists, like 101 ways to, or top 10. People love these. Also, top 10 myths for something are good too.
-
Create lists with extensive resources and lists of experts in that field.
-
No one will link to you if you have lots of spelling errors! Spell check it.
-
Have a privacy policy, terms, and about me page on your webpage. This will build your trust level. Include a picture of yourself.
-
Use PPC(pay per click) to get targeted traffic.
-
Post an interesting survey on your page and post the results on the page.
-
Submit your link to paid directories, but only pick the best paid directories (listed in directories page in left column of this page).
-
Post a story on Digg with a link to the story on your website
-
Join the BBB - Better business bureau
-
List your site on local library sites
-
Submit your site to govt. or edu pages
-
Go to google groups
-
Review products on Amazon
-
Link to other Blogs
-
Leave comments on blogs and articles with your backlink
-
Use technorati tage in your blog
-
508 your site (google it). Makes your website more trustworthy
-
Reciprocal link building (with relevant sites, not link trading networks and hub sites)
-
Rent some high quality links from a broker, website master, or text-link-ads.com
-
Sell something on E bay and give the profits to charity. The charity site will link to you.
-
Hold a contest on your website to attract visitors
-
Have a free tools section for people to use
-
Interview someone of high interest and post it on your website. It is viral and people will link to it.
-
When you link to other sites, keep these tips in mind.
-
Vary your link title text. Search engines like naturally gained links. A search engine will recognize it if you use the same title text on every webpage you are linking from.
-
The same rule applies to the website description!
-
Always link to sites that are related to yours. Linking to unrelated sites will not do much for you. Except for directories and articles, etc.
-
When linking, don’t just use your home page. Link to internal webpages as well. You want to make these links to look natural. Not everyone who is going to link to your site is going to link to the home page.
-
Try and get links from older web pages. Older web pages have more authority.
-
Get links on the top half of the web page and in the actual content of the page. Links at the header and footer are not as valuable.
-
Well there you have it. Stop reading this and go start making some cash with those techniques.
December 7th, 2007 — Make Money Online, SEO
So what is search engine optimization (SEO)? Every huge search engine out there has certain things they do to find website with the data the surfer is looking for. Search engine optimization is what someone does to their webpage to get the search engines to pick them for certain web searches. When someone types in a certain keyword the search engine looks for a website with those words in them along with related information. Website history and reputation also plays a role in the search engine pickings.
The top search engine of all is google. Yahoo and MSN are also popular, but not like google. Google ranks a page on its history and the amount of links linking to it. Once it has ranked it, it gives the page a PR (page rank). The higher a page rank, the better. These page ranks are updated every once in a while.
Keywords are the most important aspect when dealing with SEO. Other things that make a big impact are page rank, link building (covered in another section of thie website), and html tags like alt, title, meta name and headings (keep reading for info on this).
You want to use a particular keyword sprinkled throughout your website, article or blog in certain places. You want to choose keywords that do not have an overwhelming amount of competition. If you choose to use a keyword like CD (a very popular one), your page will not even be seen on any of the first pages of a search engines results. The pages that have a good page rank and a longer history will always be on top of yours. So you want to use a keyword(s) that is/are related to your product, but not a very popular one.
A good tool you can use to find out which keywords are very popular and which ones are popular but not too popular is in the free tools section of this website. So use it to your advantage.
When placing your keywords, put them at the beginning and ending of your web page. Also make one of them bold, italic, and underlined. Start out with the keyword in each sentence of each paragraph and here and there throughout the paragraph. Be careful not too get too carried away. Do not place the keyword everywhere!
For webpages, it is important that you not only optimize your keywords in the text of your page, but you also need to include those keywords in the title, alt and meta name. These can be edited in html mode. In the HTML tutorial (one of the options in the left column of the page) I went over the basics of creating your own webpage and covered what tags are and where they go. If you need some basic skills on this, go read the tutorial before we cover some more.
The beginning of a webpage’s HTML will always have a <head> section. This is stuff that the web surfer does not see, but the search engine does. In the <head> section, there are two important things. The <title> tag and the <meta name> tag. Under <title> you should always have your keyword. Under <meta name “description”> and <meta name “keywords”> you should also always have your keyword, and keywords associated with that keyword.
This is what it should look like for the keyword CD sale.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″>
<meta name=”description” content=”CD Sale”>
<meta name=”keywords” content=”online, record store, independent, label, musician, buy, sell, distribution, CD, music, recording, artist, credit card, sales, independant, audio”>
<title>CD Sale - Best music on the net</title>
</head>
Search engines read this to see what is on your webpage. Keep the <title> between 3 and 9 words and only use keywords. Use 5 - 10 keywords in the <meta name “keyword”>.
In the body of your html code (what the web surfer sees), you want to include alt tags, heading tags and hyperlinks.
Here is an example of my home page. (Notes is Red)
<head>
<title>Make Money Online|Make Money At Home</title>
<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type”
content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-1″> (This is the format of the webpage)
<link href=”style.css” type=”text/css”
rel=”stylesheet”>
<meta content=”MSHTML 6.00.2900.3059″ name=”GENERATOR”>
<meta name=”keywords”
content=”make money online, make money at home, make money from home, blogging, make money blogging, internet marketing”> (These are the keywords)
<meta name=”description”
content=”Make Money Online, make money at home with Affiliate Marketing, Blogging, Adsense, and Internet Marketing”> (This is the desription)
<meta name=”robots” content=”index,follow”> (This is a robot.txt file, it follows links on your webpage)
</head>
You want to include a robot.txt file. Just make a txt document (use notebook on windows), and put :
User-agent: *
Disallow:
Then save it as robots.txt.
Then upload it to your directory, whatever your host is.
This tells spiders from search engines to follow the links on your page and index them.
I went over headings in the HTML tutorial, but one thing i did not mention is that you want to make sure that you put your keywords in the headings. There are <h1> to <h6> headings. They always come out bold and should be used as the title of a section of the webpage.
Alt tags are tags that are associated with a picture on your page. If you want someone to see text when they roll their mouse over an image, you give it and alt tag (also covered in HTML tutorial). Including the keyword in your alt tag will boost your rating in a search engine.
So that is SEO in a nutshell. I use SEO Elite to do all of this for me. But it does cost a few bucks. It is well worth the time and effort.
Make sure to include hyperlinks (covered in the building links section of this website) as part of your SEO strategy. It is very important.
