9 ways to hide affiliate links

These codes are useful for hiding the affiliate links. However, please read the affiliate program terms of service, so that you won’t go against it.

For all except the last way (.htaccess redirect), create the respective file for each affiliate link with the code for the chosen redirect style. Replace ‘http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here’ with the URL of the affiliate link.

For example, if you choose to use the PHP redirect, first create a PHP file. Copy and paste the PHP redirect code into that file. Replace ‘http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here’ with the affiliate link URL.

Every time you want to link to the affiliate link, just link to that file.

You have to create new file for each affiliate link.

HTML redirect

<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Redirect</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;
url=http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here">
</head>
<body>
Please wait. Redirecting...
</body>
</html>


PHP redirect

<?php header("Location: http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here"); ?>


ASP redirect

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<% Response.AddHeader "Location","http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here" %>


ASP.NET redirect

<script runat="server">
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.AddHeader("Location","http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here");
}
</script>


Coldfusion redirect

<.cfheader name="Location" value="http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here">


JSP redirect

<% response.setHeader( "Location", "http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here" );
response.setHeader( "Connection", "close" ); %>


cgi Perl redirect

$q = new CGI; print $q->redirect("http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here");


Ruby on Rails redirect

def old_action redirect_to "http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here" end


Apache .htaccess on Linux

Add this code to the end of .htaccess file. Replace ‘http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here’ with the affiliate link URL. To have more than one affiliate link, just add another RewriteRule.
RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^affliate.php$
http://your-affiliate-link-goes-here [R]

Python: Parse Apache log to sqlite database

This Python script was written for a friend in Australia, as part of his Ph.D project. The script will parse the Apache server log into sqlite3 database.

Apache server log like this:
23.13.171.152 - - [26/Sep/2007:21:20:36 +0800]
“GET /forum/Themes/BlueStory/images/bbc/ftp://ftp.gif HTTP/1.1? 200 191
“http://www.malaysiaindah.com/index.php?action=post;topic=587.0;
num_replies=3?
“Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7)
Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7?
could be parse to an sqlite database, with the class below.
class Parser:
    def __init__(self, serverLog, db):
        if db.strip() == "":
        db = "log.db"
        try:
            conn = sqlite3.connect(db)
            cursor = conn.cursor()
            cursor.execute("create table if not exists log
            (ip, date, time, gmt, request,
            errorcode, bytes, referel, osa)" )
        except sqlite3.Error, error:
            wx.MessageBox(str(error), "Info")
            exit()

        numLog = len(open(serverLog).readlines())
        for line in open(serverLog, "r"):
            data = []
            a = line.split(‘"‘)
            line = line.split()
            data.append(line[0])

        #ip
        data.append(line[3][1:line[3].index(":")])

        #date
        data.append(line[3][line[3].index(":") + 1:])

        #time
        data.append(line[4][:-1])

        #gmt
        data.append(line[5][1:] + " " + line[6])

        #urlreq
        data.append(line[8])

        #statuscode
        data.append(line[9]) #bytestr data.append(line[10][1:-1])

        #referel
        data.append(a[-2])

        #osagent
        try:
            cursor.execute( "insert into log values(
             ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)",
            (data[0], data[1], data[2], data[3],
            data[4], data[5], data[6],
            data[7], data[8]) )
        except sqlite3.Error, error:
            wx.MessageBox(str(error), 'Info')
            exit()
        
        conn.commit()
        cursor.close()
        conn.close()
