In 2023 42.7% of internet users use ad blockers and this number is growing. Specifically in the US - in the biggest advertising market - 37% of respondents blocked ads while using a desktop computer and only 15% of respondents said that they used blockers on mobile devices. It is essential to show landing pages to these visitors, it can bring a lot of value - your commissions can be higher by 15 - 30% when your code is ad-block friendly.

So here are the options:

In case you redirect your visitors to our ads in same window/tab, then you are fine, you can do it in any way you want.
In case you redirect your visitors to our ads in new window/tab, then use meta refresh redirect or javascript redirect and try to avoid using a server-side redirect on a cloaked link.

We prepared an example how meta redirect should look in PHP where $link is your smartlink or configured link, see:

<!DOCTYPE html><!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Loading ..</title>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=<?php echo $link; ?>">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Another important thing is to change your link if we send you email, that we are using a new ad domain. We do monitor ad-block lists on a daily basis and change domains once the domain becomes blacklisted.
