I was following George Brown’s Google Sniper method in uploading the affiliate link to BlueHost server. I was having no success because my computer can’t perform according to his instructions.

In Google Sniper’s training this is the only section that I had found difficulty of following it. But I was able to find a way around on how to do it.

Instead of having an affiliate link that looks like this: www.MerchantSite.com/affiliate_id_777, with George Brown’s method your affiliate link may look like this: www.YourSite.com/Recommends/ProductName.php. I’ve been wanting to learn this and finally I know how to do it now.

I made this tutorial just in case if there are individuals out there who have difficulty in uploading their affiliate links to Bluehost server as they follow the Google Sniper training.
