Hey guys, I've seen many of your websites and feel like this is a very very very important Post for all of you involved in Affiliate Marketing of any kind. Affiliate Link Cloaking is so so important for getting far better conversion rates from your traffic and also tracking your traffic as well. Cloaking will make your affiliate links look a lot "More Clickable." if you hover your mouse over someones link on their website and it is 45 characters long with all kinds of crazy characters many people will simply stay away from that link and not click it! For example This will make people assume your selling them and getting a profit and that alone makes people weary and they won't click through. So what we are going to do is Cloak that affiliate link so it looks like this Which one is more inviting? The latter of course.


Now to get started you need to download the file attached to this post called redirect.php,

Extract it and open redirect.php in a text editor (not Word and not Wordpad)

Replace "copyandpasteyouraffiliatelinkhere" with your full affiliate link

Save the file

Rename it to something like "productname.php" where product name is the product name, you can name it anything really but be creative so when someone hovers their mouse over your link they will see this name so name it wisely.

Upload it to your website using any Ftp program you'd like.

Create a hyperlink to where productname.php is whatever file name you chose in the previous step.

Test it! and watch how it goes directly to your affiliate link you inserted in the first step! Now you simply go back to your affiliate links on your website or blog or wherever and Change it to and watch as you hover your mouse over the link it will show up as instead of that long ugly affiliate link you previously had.

The good thing is you can use this link anywhere, forums, post it in other people's blogs chat rooms, anything you can thing of and it won't look like an affiliate link whatsoever! This is what the Big Dogs do to take their affiliate commissions through the roof day in and day out! You can do it yourself in as little as 5 min!

If you guys need any help setting this up on your websites I will be happy to help just leave a post on this thread and I'll get you going in the right direction. Later....
