Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I want to promote my new blog article in the home based business niche. I am considering entering it in directories. What is the best gig of that sort, or is there a better method to use my $5? NO black hat SEO for me!

I ran into some trouble
I had some cpa offers on my right. I wanted to redirect them so google doesn’t see that huge url so I made a blank page. I installed this page redirect plugin where you can tell it where the page will redirect to. I made a page called fusioncash1 and changed where the CPA banner links to so it would go to inside-home-based-business.com/fusioncas… and then after that I just tried loading my homepage , inside-home-based-business.com, it keeps redirecting to that page for some reason. I don’t know what to do. I deleted that fusion cash page and it still redirects.
I wanted to redirect a different banner like I did with the first one one that worked successfully when I tried to do it with the second banner everything BLEW up on me.
i looked at the bottom where you put the url redirect that it does a 301 redirect. There is an option to do a 302 redirect. Could that be the problem? As far as I recall when I successfully redirected the first CPA banner I checked the permalink right above where you write the page post and it said inside-home-based-business.com/survey1. And when I clicked on that banner it went to that page and then to the affiliate page as it should be. I think when I clicked update on the second page that I was going to use for redirecting the second banner, the permalink changed to the full address of the CPA offer . It didn’t have what I had for the first one witch was inside-home-based-business.com/survey1. I would type my home page address and it was going to the offer.
I need HELP. How do I fix this redirect problem?
It won’t go to my main home page anymore. I’m freaking out.
