The reason I stopped using html files was because php is run at the server and nothing the user does locally will change the redirect action. Also, using redirects can sometimes mess-up the "back" button - a pet peeve of mine. As far as ClickBank sales, always sign-up for the newsletter (if one exists) for the product you are promoting. Some very unscrupulous publishers will steal your sale (a good tell-tale is if the referred rate is low). Charles Currently I use a simple php file for all my redirecting.

It uses a mysql database and you just put in the affiliate link and a friendly name to call it. it uses mod_rewrite and it seems to be very similar to what some big name internet marketing guys use. So you can send people to webgrrrl.net/recommends/somethingcool and your rewrite rule would send that request to your custom php and you lookup somethingcool in your db and redirect the user to the appropriate url. It is about 5 lines of code and free of course hehe I actually made my own script.
