OnLine Affiliate Marketing SystemsResources For Online Marketers

The past few days, I’ve spent researching the topic of cloaking links. I didn’t know what I was in for. For those of you, that are like me, and kind of know this html, javascript and php thing, this was a task.

Many of us have heard about link cloaking, are you curious about how it works, can you and should you be using it on your website or links. There are many different reasons, why you would or wouldn’t utilize affiliate link cloaking.

From a business perspective

1. Affiliate links can be stolen, this is when someone, probably another affiliate, uses their link to replace the one you are using. They copy the URL and then replace your affiliate number with their own, basically stealing commissions.

2. Affiliate links can be bypassed, this is when someone goes directly to the merchant site, removing your affiliate link. People do this for various reasons, either they don’t want you to get the commission, or don’t trust the added affiliate link at the end of the url.

3. Good business practice

Another reason why you would want to cloak your affiliate link is that some of the affiliate links are long and not attractive, which can make prospective customer leary of clicking on them. Some will recognize an affiliate link as a sales pitch and avoid your link.
