Step by Step Instructions - How to create a site using Affiliate Site Quick:

 In our example we use a ClickBank product.

You can browse the clickbank marketplace, use a site like cbengine.com
 
or a tool like ClickBankElite to browse for products.
In the example below i use cbengine.com. This also has the advantage that it allows to create your affiliate/hoplink quickly.




 We found an interesting product (in the example this is "earth  4 energy") and we create our clickbank affiliate link (hoplink) by clicking on  the button on the ebengine.com site, to the right:



 A window pops up. Enter your affiliate ID  (Your Clickbank nickname), similar as seen below.
In the example i use "here876" since this is my ID. Of course you want to use  yours. Click "create."


 
We used cbengine.com, browsing for a product, we found one,  and we created the hoplink. Note how your affiliate-ID is set correctly for the  hoplink.
In this example our hoplink for the "Earth 4 Energy" product is http://here876.earth4.hop.clickbank.com.


 
Now we want to check where this link goes to,  since we want to use this exact site URL on the Affiliate Site Quick online interface.
Open your web browser and Copy (CTRL-C) and Paste (CTRL-V) the hop-link into  your browser:


 
Here we go. We see that the hoplink leads us to Earth4Energy.com. You can  safely ignore the rest of the URL.
But make a note of the site name Earth4Energy.com -  we want to use this later.




Log in to your Affiliate Site Quick account,  where you see the generator interface, as seen below.
In the first two fields you just paste the URL we got from the test above, Earth4Energy.com, into the Merchant Domain Name field
Put the same URL In the second field for the Destination URL.

 In the third field you simply paste your hoplink. Again, it is  easiest if you use the keys CTRL+C to copy and CTRL+V  to paste on your computer.


 This is all we need - now press the "Generate Site Code"  Button



 Affiliate Site Quick creates a piece of code, as you can see  below.
Click into the field with the code, select all of the code (CTRL-A) and copy it  (CTRL-C) so we can paste it in a second.


On your computer, you start your editor, like notepad  or wordpad.
You simply paste the script from the Affiliate Site Quick interface right into  your editor. Press the CTRL and the V key at the same time. (CTRL-V)


 From your notepad, save the script as "index.php"  to some place on your computer.


 
Now it is time to upload this script from  your computer to your hosting, to your web site.
I recommend and myself use Filezilla, which is a pretty straightworward FTP  program. With filezilla you log into your hosting account
and select the folder  belonging to your web site.


 Upload the index.php (which you just saved on  your local computer) to your hosting account, into the web site folder. See  below.
In Filezilla, you select the local file (index.php) on your computer,  right-click the file and upload to your site.


 We are already done. With the upload of index.php we created a  new site.
In my example i chose my test domain test.superiorbits.com. Now  we can check whether the new site works.
 Start up your browser, and select yourdomain.com, in my  example test.superiorbits.com or whatever your site's name is.
Note: Your site will load index.php by default.


 Going to test.superiorbits.com will execute the script we just  uploaded - and you can see that it works, the resulting site as seen below:


 It is a good idea to make a test-purchase - or just go to the  order button of your new site. Double check whether your clickbank ID is  appearing.
As you see below, it is there, so every purchase made will give you commission.

The above example is the most simple and quickest way to create a site, we also did not use any special features like banners or articles, we also left all settings at default.

You see that with those settings your generated site will "jump" to the vendor's original URL after 2 seconds. (The screenshot was taken after those 2 seconds)

Affiliate Hijacker offers many different ways of how it works, eg. with V1 the script will always stay on your URL and never change or redirect.

In V2, you can as well set the delay when the redirect will happen, or you can disable the automated delay altogether. Then the jump to the vendor's site happens only once a user clicks an element of the site.

The default method (as above) is the standard method and should suffice for most cases - eg. for quickly promoting a product and driving PPC traffic to the site.

Why the 2 second delay for the jump to the original site?

The 2 second delay is estimated to give search engines time to "see" and index your site.

I want to add that it is highly recommended to use "V1" (which does not use the redirect but instead stays on your URL), especially in working with AdWords.

The reason is that AdWords *occasionally* complains about "destination URLs dont match", mainly (and possibly) after some manual site reviews done by AdWords staff.

No such problems with V1.

For using the "V1" method just click on the link in the right upper corner of the interface screen.
