Hi guys, I've setup a new free link cloaking service that has a number of advantages over the other free ones like tinyurl.com or snipurl.com: 1. It can remove links to the affiliate program from the vendor's landing page. You have to see this one to believe it. With this service, you have the option of having any links on the landing page that point to the vendor's affiliate program removed. This saves you lost commissions from the visitors you send seeing that there's an affiliate program, signing up, and purchasing through their own link instead of yours. 2. I provide click tracking. Unlike other free cloaking services, I provide both raw click through and unique click through counts. Compare those figures against the number of sales you've made and you can calculate your conversion rates. 3. Get more free traffic through your links from other users. The most recently created links are shown on the home page, as well as the most popular ones for the week. This gives other users the opportunity to click your link and see if they like what you're offering. We also give visitors the ability to browse through older links, giving you even more traffic potential. Here's the link: http://offto.net/ It's working now, though the 'Browse Recent Links' isn't up yet. Please try it out and let me know what you think. I'm open to all suggestions, etc. My graphic artist is working on the graphics and template, so right now it's very basic in appearance. Jon
I was tryed, but it does not work. May affiliate page do not load. Here is my cloacked url: offto.net/thepowerof10/. Page does not load, it is empty.
I see that. It's a redirect issue. I'm working on it now and will post when I find out the problem. Thanks! Jon
I've now added in the ability to (optionally) create an account and manage all of your links and stats from one place.
OK, I just tested it with my Linkshare aff program for Western Union, Cloaked-on-landing page link: http://offto.net/enviardinerotext_6a72/ Not-cloaked on landing page link: http://offto.net/enviardineroaperutext/ Results: 1. When I created a link with the "hide affiliate link on landing page" or whatever option, it was very, very, very slow, sometimes like 5-10 seconds. 2. Some of the times, the top of the page was filled with this error text: HTTP/1.1 204 No Content HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Date: Sat, 22 Sep 2007 17:39:25 GMT Connection: close Pragma: no-cache Content-Type: text/html;charset=UTF-8 Expires: Sat, 22 Sep 2007 17:38:26 GMT Set-Cookie: SECURE%5FKEY=nraXQN7JFyvVAfwMt4A5; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: SERVER%5FVALUE=2; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: LOGIN%5FSTATE=false; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: PERMISSIONS=; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: SESSION%5FID=031190482559765793; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: SESSION%5FCREATED=3%2520%2D%2520Sat%2520Sep%252022%252013%253A35%253A59%2520EDT%25202007; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: LAST%5FSERVLET%5FCALL=1190482766010; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: UNIQUE%5FID=131189403318693345; expires=Fri, 22-Sep-2017 04:00:00 GMT; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: LinkShareMerchantID=2044; expires=Fri, 21-Dec-2007 05:00:00 GMT; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: LinkShareID=tlrR56ppPQg%2DwC7b8ZpO48FcCJn2UJ9Rng; expires=Fri, 21-Dec-2007 05:00:00 GMT; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: LinkShareDateStamp=1190497165000; expires=Fri, 21-Dec-2007 05:00:00 GMT; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: CONTROL=whByEKXzy%2DlMUhl3hHKE; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: region=US; expires=Fri, 22-Sep-2017 04:00:00 GMT; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Set-Cookie: languagePref=CO%253Asp%257CUS%253Asp%257C; expires=Fri, 22-Sep-2017 04:00:00 GMT; domain=westernunion.com; path=/ Cache-control: no-cache Plus, I'm not sure how good a cloack it is if the link so closely resembles an affiliate link the way http://offto.net/enviardinerotext_6a72/ does.
