Clickbank Affiliate Hop Link View Source

Let’s see where the bitly link goes, take a bitly link http://bitly.com/2r4W4j1, and add view-source: like this view-source:http://bitly.com/2r4W4j1 and load that in a browser (Firefox/Chrome) to see where the link redirects to (see screenshot above).

From this we have two important URLs, in the top browser bar a site that’s either owned or controlled (could be a hacked site) by the SEO link SPAMMER and where that page redirects to, which is a Clickbank affiliate Hop link.
