I’m always looking for new ways to build links for affiliate sites. Last night I came across a brilliant firefox plugin (thanks to the brilliant nicky cakes) that will help you build links naturally while you use the internet. Ok, so whats the plugin? The plugin is called RefControl. What does it do? It allows you to spoof your referrer address whilst on the internet.

If your a webmaster like me, you should be used to analysing your logs to see where your traffic is coming from (If your not, your not doing it right!). I always check my logs to see who is sending me traffic, if I see a referrer, I’ll check them out to see in what context are they linking to me. RefControl allows you to overwrite the referer url that your browser normally sends to webpages with whatever web address you want including your affiliate website address.

What should happen now, is that the webmaster of sites you’ve visited on the internet will check your site to see how your linking to them. If you’ve got good content, it should earn you a link!

If you like this plugin as much as I do please leave a comment!
