One of the main income source for blogger is from affiliate marketing. In order to analyze and track the number of click, people use plugins such as Max Ninja affiliate , Quick Redirect . Besides many had been using bit.ly because you have extended analytics such as location , referrers etc.  So here is a short tutorial to use your domain to mask bit.ly url.

• First you need to create a new directory/folder in your CPanel/FTP/vDesk . Although you can use root directory , it is better to use a directory for security reasons. An ideal name for a sub directory can be /go or  /recommended . I had created a directory named “demo”

• Create a .htaccess file with the following code.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://bit.ly/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

• Upload the .htaccess file to the new directory.

That’s it. Hereafter if you need to redirect http://bit.ly/affiliate-link , you can use http://yourdomain.com/go/affiliate-link

Now let’s try this.

I am using bit.ly  URL     — http://bit.ly/Max-ninja-affiliate

I had created a directory named “demo” by following the above procedure.

Now visit  http://hiswat.info/demo/Max-ninja-affiliate , you will be amazed to see the url redirection. :)

You can see the analytics in your bit.ly account.

Try and let us know :)

Although you can use goo.gl , Google redirection service, it does not allow you to have customized . You can get only goo.gl/B4aTS .

You can use tinyurl.com and others.

You can also use this trick in a sub-domain .
