SE friendly affiliate URL question

Posted: Thu Mar 17, 2005 1:12 am (19 years, 1 month ago)

First of all thanks for all the helpful advice.
It's great to have a site like this to turn to for help.

My question is this (I think this idea would be valuable for many):

I would like to have members of my affiliate program be able to promote a more SE friendly URL like:
http://profitblaze.net/4/admin

instead of http://profitblaze.net/x.cgi?id=admin

Is there a way to setup a rewrite in the "4" directory to automatically insert the "x.cgi?id=" before the affiliate code?

I have been searching all over the net all day and finally found your site. Can you help?

Sincerely,
Mark Kessler

I have not found a way to do this yet and I have searched for months.

Hiya,

Maybe I've misunderstood you but if you want modrewrite to change: -

http://profitblaze.net/4/admin to http://profitblaze.net/x.cgi?id=admin

You could use: -

Code:

RewriteEngine On

# Change 4/x to x.cgi?id=x
RewriteRule ^4/(.*)/ x.cgi?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^4/(.*) x.cgi?id=$1 [L]

This'll go in the .htaccess file in your x.cgi directory.

Hope that helps.
