    heyall- bestow your knowledge upon me please!

    I am new to the clickbank game and am not sure about the link cloaking procedure.
    I am using pretty-links plug in on WP and they recently told me I need to upgrade because the level Im at isn't working properly anymore, and I'm not sure if they're trying to cheat me into buying or not.
    My affiliate link is masked under my domain name until you are on the vendors page, and once there you can clearly see 'hop' and my ID- now is that all I need? Just a cover till the prospective customer is on the page? Or can a commission thief come along at that point and switch it up and they get the sale? Does link cloaking software further cloak the link?
    I am confused as to if cookies work via clickbank. I'm just confused.

    Thanks for your time hey?

    Doesn't clickbank have something called "hopshield" integrated nowadays? Every time I pull a new hoplink it's already encrypted by clickbank. Anyway, what you really should do is make a redirect from your domain. Just make a new page and put in:
    <?php
    header("Location: http://AFFILIATE.VENDOR.hop.clickbank.net");
    ?>

    This will make a redirect from that page to the vendors landing page.
