Do you cloak affiliate links? yes/no, why, and how?

    I do, but not to deter commission theft. Outside the IM niche I found vendor sleaziness to be a much bigger problem and cloaking does nothing for that.

    It saves time and money though. It's so easy to change just one link it makes testing alternate offers a snap, not to mention still being able to profit from all the links out there (including PDF and desktop app based) when offer goes defunct.

    I roll my own redirects using .htaccess, sometimes in combination with PHP.

    Looking forward to hear what you do.
