Adding CJ Affiliate Links to your .tel

Commission Junction is a major Affiliate portal - I've used them for years - and it's very easy to add CJ affiliate links to your .tel domain.

There are 2 ways of doing it - either use a redirect script as I do - or just put the affiliate code in directly.

Have a look at http://usa.discountgolf.tel and then the link to Golf Outlets of America.

The link there is to a redirect script I have written in my domain dottelmedia.com - all this script does is redirect to the CJ link http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1111111-2222222 (example is non-operational since 1-1 and 2-2 are dummy values) where 1111111 represents my CJ Publisher ID (PID) and 2222222 represents the CJ Advertiser ID (AID) for Golf Outlets Of America.

So instead of the dottelmedia.com link I used (which is more user-friendly) I could just as easily have entered the CJ affiliate link above - the end result would be exactly the same i.e. the user ends up at http://www.golfoutletsusa.com/default.aspx with a CJ affiliate cookie set.

If you want to check out CJ for yourself click http://www.CJ.com - to sign up with them click http://www.cj.com/get-started-now and then select "Publisher".

Tahnk you, that is very helpful. I wish we could have a less time-consuming method, but until then this is agreat help.
But what you mean you did it with a script? You only have to define an URL of your .com redirecting it to the advertiser, right?

If there was only one affiliate link then you could do that, but if you look at http://usa.discountgolf.tel you will see the first 5 links all go to us.dottelmedia.com, so I need a script to read the parameters and set up the appropriate redirect code.

And of course for the eBay redirect you have to generate a Permanent 301 Redirect (to satisfy their terms and conditions) rather than the more normal Temporary 302 Redirect.

So yes, you do need to write a script to perform these redirect actions.
