Affiliate Network Owner: How to cloak/mask my links?

    Hey Guys,

    i am running an Affiliate Network for games and i'd like to cloak/mask my links.
    Let's get to it, i setup via Amazon Web Services a redirect URL, but with that, the callback isn't working correctly.

    My only goal would be to not show the referrer to my Advertisers and protect me and my Affiliates.

    Currently the Setup looks like this:
    https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/xxxxxxxxx.com/index.html?url=here comes the affiliate tracking link

    Would be cool, if you could help out.

    Best, Inup

    Can you just use a redirection tool like bit.ly?

    Example - bit.ly/affiliatelink -> https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/xxxxxxxxx.com/index.html?url=

    Are you promoting the affiliates on a website? if so you can use plugins like Pretty Link

    If you are using WP, then pretty links works good, there is also WP addon
    where you can popular your content with affiliate links, and it is called
    WP auto affiliate links; I have not used it, worth looking into.

    If you are not using WP, you can always buy a short url script,
    and use your own ie: yourdomain.com/shorturl/blablabla
