Good day all, I am new here, and glad I found your site, lots of useful content here. I have a question regarding masking, protecting and organize my affliate links.
I have a forum and affiliate links in many many posts,
Sometimes my affiliate partners are changing tracking links, then its impossible for me to go through all threads and posts to change them.
So I want to have all my affiliate links organizes, so that I need to change it only 1 time on my site.
I created a folder "visit" and uploaded it to my root
in this folder i have then files like
visit/123-merchant.php
After doing some searches I am using now this php code in the .php files
<?
header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
header( "Location: http://www.example.com" );
?>
and then i disallow also the folder "visit" in my robots.txt
I would appreciate if you could let me know if this ok so to do.
The reason I am asking is, I started to convers my links since about 10 days, make daily a few, and now it looks like I lost drastic in google serps.
Many thanks in advance
Marina
