    How about domain.com/action instead of domain.com/affiliatename?

    I found that something like:
    lunlun.com/areyoucurious or lunlun.com/daretoclick
    makes people click.

    In a Benny HILL movie, there was a label above some kind of vending machine saying, "Please enter 25 cents".
    Benny HILL entered 25 cents, then the label changed into "Thank you".
    That was all. No unfullfilled promises - in fact, no promises at all. 25 cents just for satisfying curiosity. :)

    You have a lot of screens to get through before I can download - maybe reconsider that.

    Also, potentially, step away from the trend of LOTS OF TEXT on a page hoping i'll get bored and just click download and pay you style a lot of these sites go with. I'm sure an actual website would be more effective.

    Whats a link with no fat? Anyway, what I did there was just forwarded my affiliate link to that domain and masked it. Try clicking on links inside the page. The domain name stays the same.

    I got it now. At first, I thought that link was to a tutorial about how to do masking. Then, looking at the link, I thought that was a joke to make me curious.

    Nice example, by the way. And yes, the address bar doesn't change, as you move from one link to the other. The only issue I see with this - it's hard to bookmark a specific page. Other than that, if you have one domain to spare for each affiliate link, it seems to be the most professional way to do it.
