I need some advice on how to cloak affiliate links?

James Santiago

You can use a free service like Viral Url - I use it and it works great for me!

Where can one get Viral Url, should I just google it

Hi all,

It's been awhile since I've been here. JSantiago I use a script I bought and it allows me to not only clock my links but also gives me the power to send my visitors to any page on the affiliate program I'm promoting. You only have to buy it once and you can then place it on as many website you like.

There are videos to show you how to do it and believe me it's not hard at all. Not only that but it tells you how many time's your clocked links have been clicked, so you can also keep an eye on your click through rate.

Even better this script cloaks your whole page so if someone tries to "view page source" and find your affiliate link that way all they will see is this.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx


and so on.

It's not free but like i said you only have to buy it once and no one can steal your affiliate commissions. You can also cloak your article links so that point to your top level domain.

Here are the videos everyone can check out Samurai Stealth Cloaker - Enhance Your Affiliate Marketing

and here is the home page

I hope I'm not spamming here as this is not my product "I wish it was" But it has been a while since I have been here. Just trying to help and from personal experience using the script it's worth every cent.

That was helpful information...

The problem with many of the free link cloaking services, like ViralURL, is that they come as part of a package, and the other parts of that package can be problematic — such as traffic exchange programs where you end up being buried alive in an email avalanche daily from other members, all of whom want YOU to look at THEIR bizopps rather than the other way round.

In other words, they all listen with their mouths.

At least you're free of this kind of baggage with a commercial solution, and there are several good ones.

The one I finally chose — and was so impressed that I acquired one of only 100 master resale rights licences ever issued for it — was Cloak and Tracker by the inimitable Jay Jennings, whose products always work on both Windows and Mac platforms. (Sure, 90%+ of all Internet users are on Windows PCs. But more than 60% of all professional web content is created on Macs. Ignore that fact at your peril.)

In fact, Jay was good enough to add a really nifty function to the program at my suggestion: the ability to personalize links to individual users, so that they become almost irresistible to click in your mailings, and then they personalize your landing page with the recipient's name for even more impact.

Example: instead of http://spendsmarter.com/for/cloakandtracker, the link in your subscriber's email would be like this...
http://spendsmarter.com/has/a_specia.../penny_pincher

If you post to forums, you can create cloaked, trackable links on the fly, in just seconds, and upload them to your host server with a single click in a few more seconds. NO other program offers this speed and flexibility.

And when it comes to tracking results, nothing but the most expensive online tracking services deliver the same kind of detail — and in graphic format. Right down to individual names and IP addresses if you wish. You can see your campaign results at a glance.

If you'd like to learn more, I'll post a special HALF PRICE offer for forum members only (that's the lowest price I can charge under the terms of my licence, and it's strictly 1 per member) on the THB Offers board over the Easter weekend.

Just so there's no misunderstanding: I'm not recommending this product because I sell it. I sell and recommend it because, after using it, I was so impressed that I acquired a rare reseller's licence so I could sell it to my affiliates to use. (They can import master link files that I create in Cloak and Tracker into their copies of the program and it will instantly customize those links with their details. Brilliant! Even better, it will create dynamically generated web pages with their affiliate links so they can put them on their sites immediately.)

There are LOTS of other ingenious features and functions built into this program as well. Watch for the link on the THB Offers board this weekend. It's well worth checking out. (Regular price is US$49.90. Your price will be just US$24.95. Outstanding value. The offer will expire on April 30.)

Hope this helps!
