Hi all! I'm a writer who is delving into some affiliate marketing. I'm wondering about the best way to cloak a link for forum marketing. I know I can purchase a domain and forward it to my affiliate link. I also have a free php cloaking thingy (I know that's a technical term right...) that will create a link that looks like: http://www.mydomain.com/recommends/product But at the end of it all, my affiliate link will be at the top of the page once they click through, right? Is there a simply way to completely hide the link, or should I just let it go? Courtney
You can hide it by setting up your domain just like this one: hide.c-mycam.com You can also set your description and meta tags with it. View the source. Search engines see it as a normal site, with meta tag etc. If you need any help, you can pm me.
Once you click the link and get redirected, then they see the long URL, or what ever URL the affiliate page takes them. It's to make affiliate links much shorter, and not look like affiliate links. (BDW, Da free php cloaking 'thingy' is http://www.freelinkcloaker.com/ It's a great script! I've been using it myself.)
