Just wondering if they still are recognised by WA if shortened by Bitly or a similar program..plz :)
If you are redirecting to the affiliate link through a shortened link then yes. I prefer using a wordpress plugin to do this with my domain. EG http://example.com/wealthyaffiliate redirects to my affiliate link. Hope that helps :)
Yep, agreed - all the shortners are doing, is redirecting through another service so you can gather stats on various places your links are coming from (eg. you could have a short link on your side-bar image, but use another going to the same affiliate link - but using another short-code, within your product page.
You'd then be able to get stats from the "shortner" you use, as to which receives the most clicks etc - but they'll still go to the same place.
All the best, Mark
Thank you very much for taking the time out of your day to sort that for us Mark, Much appreciated :)
