Diggin It Digital Setting up your redirect page is fairly simple. If you are using a web hosting company with cPanel you can do it directly from there. Click on redirects,
enter the domain from the drop down menu that you are fowarding the affiliate link from, the name of the link and finally the affiliate link itself. Click on Add. Your done!
There are also a ton of redirect /shorten your url sites all over the web that make setting up your redirect very simple. (A URL shortener is also a good way to cloak your affiliate link.)
Here is a list of the top sites:

There are also several html and php scripts you can use to redirect your visitors directly from your domain. You can purchase a domain name and save one of the files below as the index.html / index.php or home.html. Simply copy n paste these scripts into your html editor such as Frontpage and replace the_new_url in the scrip with your link. Save the page with a new name and upload. Be sure to test your links. You can also save a text file with the script code and when your ready to add a new link replace the_new_url with your link and save page as an .html
HTML Redirects:
<html>
<head>
<title>Redirecting</title>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=”refresh” content=”0; URL=http://the_url”>
</head>
<body>
You will be redirected to <a href=”http://the_new_url”>the_new_url</a>
</body>

</script></head>
<body>
<head>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=”refresh”
content=”2;URL=http://the_new_url”>
</head>
With java script:
<script type=”text/javascript”>
document.location = “http://the_new_url/”;
</script>
