How to Cloak Your Affiliate Links

There are a number of methods you can use to cloak affiliate links, some you have to pay for and some which are free. Here are a couple of simple free methods available to you:

  1. If you just want a simple link cloaker which does not have any built in form of tracking and doesn’t require you to install any scripts on your website, you could use the cloaking service available at NicheSiteProfits.
    You can access the link cloaker by clicking on the following link:

    -> Free Link Cloaker <-

    Full instructions are given on the link cloaking page and this system works for any affiliate link, including ClickBank links. One advantage of this system is your affiliate link is never visible which makes it a little more secure against link hijackers.

    While this system does not have any inbuilt form of tracking, you can still track hits to the page through your hosting webstats.

  2. If you want a simple link cloaker with built in tracking you could install the free script available from FreeLinkCloaker.com. To run the script you need to be able to run PHP scripts on your website and have access to a MySQL databse. You can access the link cloaking script by clicking on the following link:

    -> Free Link Cloaking Script <-

    Installation instructions are given in the email you receive with the script and on the install page you run once you have created the database.

    While this system works with any affiliate link, the one disadvantage is your full affiliate URL will be visible in the browser search bar which leaves your affiliate link vulnerable to link hijackers.

Both of the cloaking systems mentioned above can be used for email marketing and for cloaking links on your webpages. You can also use the cloaking systems if you are involved with article marketing because you can include cloaked links in the author bio included at the bottom of each article you submit.
