Step 2: Save this file as index.php or filename.php(affiliatename.php)

Step 3: Create a new folder in the desktop to put in all of your index.php or filename.php(affiliatename.php) files as you have to create index.php file for any affiliate link you want to cloak. Say the name of the folder as recommends or go.

Step 4: Upload your newly created folder which named as recommends or go to your public_html folder, using your FTP client.

Step 5: Creating your link on your site to use that file you just created and uploaded, is like linking to anything else, but your link will look like this: http://www.todayscorner.com/go/affiliatename.php

Your link structure will always look the same, you simply need to change the affiliatename.php file name at the end of the link.

An example directly on Todayscorner, when I want to link people to NewProduct.co, I created a file and simply named it Newproduct.php .

So the link to Newproduct would be http://www.todayscorner.com/go/Newproduct.php. People clicking the link http://www.todayscorner.com/go/Newproduct.php will actually be sent to http://NewProduct.co.
