    Hi,

    We've been using link cloaker to protect our affiliate commissions. Most link cloaker software will create a code for us and then we upload it to our server.

    Can link cloaker software that we use steal our commissions? This is because most of us does not know the code really mean. Maybe the code will redirect to their developer account.

    Well, we never know guys...

    Please comment on this...

    Thanks

    How to cloak your link:

    1. Sub-domain Redirect
    Set a subdomain and redirect it to your aff link. eg: http://test1.yoursite.com redirect to your aff link.

    2. HTML refresh redirect
    Create a html file. Name it: anything.html
    <HTML><HEAD>
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=YOUR-LINK-HERE">

    </HEAD><BODY></BODY></HTML>

    When you send your visitor to www.yoursite.com/anything.html they will get redirected to your aff link.

    3. .htaccess
    Write this in your htaccess file
    Redirect test http://yourlinkhere.com

    So www.yoursite.com/test will redirect to your aff link.

    4. PHP redirect
    Create a php file, and name it anything.php

    <?php
    header( 'Location: http://www.yourlink.com' ) ;
    ?>

    When your user click www.yoursite.com/anything.php they get redirected to your aff link.
