Adblock Affiliate Redirect Block Solution? - GoFuckYourself.com

clickity click · 06-03-2016, 03:54 PM

Hey!

I have a site that uses redirects to mask affiliate URL's.

They looke a little like this:

Code:

www.hotbotteens.com/track/JK1dfhejfhrere2335 > http://www.mysite.com/go/hotbotteens

The redirect is blocked by Adblock so if a user clicks the link it does nothing.

What is the best solution to this problem? Should I be transparent with my URL's? Should I use a different service like bit.ly? What is causing this. The redirects are created manually via a Wordpress Plugin.

I prefer your silly drunken questions.

What type of redirect did you use? I don't think htaccess will get blocked. Not sure though you'd have to test.

Code:

redirect /go/hotbotteens http://www.hotbotteens.com/track/JK1dfhejfhrere2335

Could be the target domain too I guess.

I'd start by testing - mask some totally innocent target, and see if that redirect gets blocked too.

Ok, so I did a test Google > Live.com
Worked fine.

All the links within wp-admin seem to work also. I click the link like

Code:

http://www.mysite.com/go/hotbotteens

within the plugin and it's fine.

It seems to just be affecting onpage.

Does this mean my page is blacklisted somehow with ABP?

Possibly. It can be the domain, or some pattern that you use in the URL.

ABP doesn't have a "debug" thing in its menu that shows exactly what's blocked and why? (uBlock Origin has that)

Anyhow, you could also look here: https://easylist.github.io/easylist/easylist.txt

Do you use any plugins for cloaking?

Well yes I do, the plugin I am referencing above for instance. Cloaking is such a harsh word don't you think?

Anyway, the plugin is called "Affiliate Link Cloaking".
