    It's actually just a php code.

    <?
    
    header("location: http://01151990.iforex.hop.clickbank.net/");
    
    ?>
    Code (markup):
    Make a new index.php page, and put in a folder called GETPRODUCT and then link like this:

    <a href="GETPRODUCT/">Get Product HERE</a>
    HTML:


    Hope this answered your question!

    If you are running a WordPress site which has your clickbank product there is a plugin called GoCodes which cloaks affiliate links and all other links on your site. I use it and highly recommend it ;)

    The best way to hide a link is to use a redirect page.

    Create a document with a meta refresh leading to your hoplink, and then point all links to that file.

    Most people buy a single domain that is used only for redirecting affiliate links. The purpose is to #1) hide your links, and #2) if the distributor stops selling the product, it is much more manageable to go into your redirect domain and change one link than to try to remember every place on the internet where you posted a link.

    Cloaking or no cloaking, clickbank commission robbery is rampant. Once the url is obtained, the buyer would change it to the one he/she has interest in.

    Doesn't make much sense but I guess it was supposed to mean the buyers simply use their own or friends Clickbank IDs.
    Still marketing clickbank products can be quite profitable even with that.

    Hi DRquek, Best for you to do it the way clickbank advises. The info is at their site. If you do it incorrect you can lose the link credit. Good Pluck Now go to clickbank and get your cloak.

    I use Viral Url to cloak all my affiliate ID's, not only do you hide your ID's. you also promote all your other products and Viral Url through the Viral bar...I works great

    Depends how well you want to cloak them, I just have them redirect off sub pages of my domain via meta refresh.

    tinyurl.com is good but not search engines friendly (won't get indexed).

    .../recommends/.. is recommended

    I know a lot of people also recommend tinyurl.com

    And I've tried to use it. But in the end, the url displayed at the top of the page is my hop link with my ID.

    Am I doing something wrong?
