Is it a Possibility?

Link cloaking is almost essential these days, and although I had purchased a link cloaker for $70 I didn't really like how it functioned. It made link cloaking complex and time consuming. If a customer clicks on one of my affiliate links, I want them to get to the affiliate page instantaneously, I don't want them waiting 5 seconds for the affiliate code to anchor itself before transferring. In my affiliate cloaking, I also didn't want to have to use a separate file folder like go, goto, likes, recommends, etc nor did I want a separate file for each affiliate. I wanted a simple link like www.example.com/amazon for example, as that is such a clean, crisp, professional looking affiliate link. Most people will know that that it is an affiliate link, but it looks nice and if your providing value to the customer they won't mind clicking on it to get to where you're sending them.

I was looking for something nice and simple the other day and found Tim Robinsons <a HREF='http://www.cloaknrotate.com' rel="nofollow">Affiliate Link Cloaker</A>. It took literally 5 seconds to set up and does everything you listed. Soo much better for newbies like me who run away the mere site of code. Whoa, that’s a lot of effort.

TinyURL.com 2. URLFreeze.com 3. TwistUrl.com 4. redirectmagic.com 5. shorturl.com 6. yournewurl.com 7. hideyouraffiliate.com They work by replacing the long affiliate link with a short tinyurl.com/12345, or urlfreeze.com/12345 accordingly. Whilst efficient at first glance, you have to keep in mind the following: • By going to their website it is possible to trace the url and expose the affiliate link, hence defying the purpose of hiding. People who are aware of this are usually those who have been involved in Internet Marketing at some point. • To the novice, those links can be a potential deterrent, since it has nothing to do with the provided product. And of course, it doesn’t serve your branding goals. So, when using this we are scaring off the novice, and aren’t doing anything to protect against the savvy. Therefore I wouldn’t recommend using those.
