Thieves are a problem out in the brick and mortar world is for entrepreneurs and burglars are a worry for cyber space entrepreneurs who run a profit system online. Out in the bricks and mortar world, burglars will take cash and products and it is not any different on the web. The physical world merchants use locks and alarms to deter burglars. Internet business owners need to use anti-theft software to protect their commissions. Here are some things you can do to protect yourself and your commissions :

1. Use Meta Refresh : A meta refresh is a straightforward bit of HTML code which immediately redirects your visitor to another page ( your affiliate URL ). It provides a neat way of presenting associate links in newsletters. It doubtless helps cut commission bypassing and commission hijacking. An enormous benefit of using meta refreshes is if merchants change their affiliate links, you can change links on many pages efficiently by changing just one file.

One problem is that some search engines do not like meta refreshes because they are frequently used for unsavory purposes. So if you use this method, use it with caution.

2. Use a URL redirection service. You may use free services or get a unique domain name for each affiliate marketing programme you join. URL redirection makes affiliate links less obvious, so this can reduce some commission burglaries.

3. The best home based business ideas will always employ a internet-based ad tracking service. The advert tracking link initially hides the associate link, reducing burglaries.

4. Use an advert tracking script. Good advertisement tracking scripts hide the affiliate link as well as being useful for tracking. It has the edge that it doesn’t promote somebody else’s domain.

5. Use JavaScript redirect. Because this at first hides the affiliate link, it should reduce commission burglaries.

Be aware that thievery is a difficulty for online businesses and take the necessary steps to protect your commissions.
