You have permission to use the article as included in the textbox below, as long as my resource box is included at the end of the article.

The use of tracking links in the following scenario puts you in
complete control when someone else makes a change that affects
your webpages, your links on other peoples' sites, or your links
in ebooks or ecourses already in circulation. Additionally, the
potential time savings in editing the pages that are within your
control can add up to hours and hours saved for you.

NOTE: This article has a free companion video tutorial that
demonstrates how to quickly and easily put yourself in complete
control of your hard earned traffic.  The video can be viewed
here:  http://www.freeiq.com/linktracking

Here's the scenario...

1) You're promoting someone else's product as an affiliate.

2) You've built and uploaded multiple web pages with this
affiliate link long ago.

3) You've written an ecourse with the affiliate link included
in multiple messages.

4) You've created a viral ebook that's been downloaded 5,000
times in the last 9 months and it includes this affiliate link.

Now, everything is rolling along quite nicely and you receive
an email message from the owner / creator of this affiliate
program advising you that they are launching new affiliate
software on a new server and it will mean that your old affiliate
links will no longer work - effective tomorrow.  Ouch.

Without the use of tracking links, you'll need to...

- Find every web page where this affiliate link is located, edit
the pages and upload the updated versions.

- Edit your ecourse messages with the new revised affiliate link
and update your autoresponder.

- Forget about all your hard work invested in creating your
viral ebook because you can't recall the ebooks and there's no
way to remotely fix the affiliate link.

Not only is this all quite unfortunate, but it's going to cost
you time and potential income lost.  So, how can you avoid
getting in this situation in the first place?  Here's the good
news...

The solution that puts you in complete control is the use of
tracking links.  Instead of using the affiliate URL to link
directly to the product or service, be the middle man with your
own tracking link.  Here's how the traffic will flow...

1) Traffic lands on your web page and clicks the link you
provide, which is a tracking link.

2) The visitor is directed to your tracking program, which in
turn redirects the traffic to the affiliate program.

Simple enough, right?  Absolutely.

The real beauty of this is that when you get the message from
the affiliate program administrator announcing the news of their
wonderful new affiliate program and your updated link, you say
"Hey, cool. No problem."  You log into your tracking program's
admin panel, edit the target URL for your tracking link and your
work is done in 60 seconds flat.

No editing and uploading of web pages.  No editing or updating
of autoresponders.  No lost income from broken links in your
viral ebook.  It's a beautiful thing.

The scenario will happen.  It's only a matter of time.  Will
you be able to successfully make all necessary adjustments in 60
seconds or will you be scrambling for hours?  The answer is in
your decision whether or not you use tracking links.
