    What is the best way to change links in mass for special promos?

    I need some controls to change this shit. I can't go around like a hoe changing all my blogs. Whats the most efficient way to architect this shit?

    The best way for future links is to create universal redirection links (domain.com/code/). That way you only need to change one place (for instance in database or .htaccess). If you have control panel on your server, you can probably also do it there. Or you can create universal php includes for the links (just like creating standard templates).

    If you want to change existing links you can download the db's and do a bulk replace. I use UltraEdit to do bulk editing.

      I'm not very programmer savvy so I'm not sure what the best solution would be... but I just use php include on all of the sidebars on my blogs. Works for me.

        Oh... there is another brilliant way to deal with special promos (yes, I am brilliant ):

        Most have some sort of TGP software, where you can customize the html, but they forget it can be used for more than just FHGs. In fact, you can also use it for general banners/links and schedule when and what to be shown. That way you can plan the special promos, and you do not have to think about it later - or forget it.
        Be creative with your TPG software, and you do not need tons of plugins. Dynamic tags, keywords... it is all-in-one, cheaper and lighter... anything is possible, you just need to see it

          using wordpress?

          If so search and replace plugin is good for this.

            Linking directly to the tour?

            What if you link to FHGs? You have to rip the fhg, host it yourself, and put the include on it.

                      What if you are sending to a FHG instead of a tour?

                        It's a redirector script using search engine friendly urls.
                        It does count clicks to each link. But if you just want to redirect links it's perfect for that. Sames me a lot of time when a sponsor takes his program offline, so I dont need to change all the pages with his links, I simple go into my TALS admin and edit the links to another site or where ever I want.

                          I use .htaccess to control all my outbound links. It makes updating very easy!

                            that is nice option, but banner rotator and text link rotator is best option!
