Rather than building a page for each title, there are other solutions. I've done both. On one site, I built a /recommends director and use redirects for it. It could be done using .htaccess (I don't) or a PHP/HTML page as described above.

The other solution is to use a database. I found a program called FastClickSQL Lite which does this. You create the database/categories for your links, which gives you a decent management system and it handles it all. Best thing is you get some tracking on who's clicking and which links. Best of all, the LITE version is FREE. I tweaked mine a few times. I used .htaccess to give me different formatting on one site, and on another, I track a "from" parameter so I can tell which site or ad the link came from.

ie: Normal Fastclick link...
Code:
http://www.somesite.com/fclick.php?id=MyProdCode
ie: My custom link...
Code:
http://www.somesite.com/fclick.php?id=MyProdCode&from=FromSiteCode
Anyway, that's just a suggestion. There's a few pieces of software that do this in a variety of ways, but I've had great luck with that one.
