I am new to CPA advertising and I am curious that should I hide my aff. link by converting it into tiny URL and or other URL shortening tools. What do you guys do? Please give me some suggestions.
yep you'd hide it else none will convert for you. btw best way is to use a php redirect from your domain. search google. lot methods there
i usually hide my af links, how ever i found that some af programs have troubles with it, for example long redirecting time so sometimes i prefer to use it as it is - just for not losing the visitors.
One more question that I have is that can I hide my aff link via tiny URL or other URL shortening tool? How effective is that?
Yes, you can use the CPA Redirect as this script is shared free in Google. And you could redirect all of your traffic from anywhere to the affiliate and all traffic will show that the traffic is only from your site. They cant know where the traffic is coming from
I hide all of my affiliate links at all times. I've found it the most secure way to get my commissions...
yes you can use link shortening services, but i read somewhere that most of these services steals affiliate commission by embedding their cookies and other stuffs. The best way is to use an .htaccess redirect or simple html or php redirect. search google for 'html redirect' or 'php redirect script' Or you can use any cloaking tool too. But only use trusted ones.
Why would you shorten a CPA link? I don't see a solid reason for it. (Never done it myself and I've been in the game for a few months now) Cloaking links has a slightly different purpose (to protect affiliate commission heft which doesn't happen in CPA marketing ... ) Al.
Now people are pretty vigilant about aff links. and its sure they wont complete any offer or join anything using a link with lot of strings
This is exactly what I am thinking. The only thing that looks good at this time is the use of php redirect script. What do you guys suggest?
