Default How and Why should I hide CPA traffic sources?

Hey guys,

Just getting into CPA.

I have been into affiliate marketing for a few years now but I am new to CPA.

One thing I hear often if that you have to hide your traffic sources. How do I do that? And why should I do that?

Is it just a matter of cloaking the link?

Thanks

What do you mean by hiding the traffic source. If you are doing it WH then there is no need of hiding the source.

That is what I thought. But I heard from several sources that you do not want the admin to know where your traffic is coming from, regardless.

I'm all whitehat, that is why I am asking because I don't understand the reasoning behind that.

But like I said I'm new to this.

Unless you're running an ad that has restrictions where you can get traffic (no facebook, no twitter, no craiglist etc) there is no need to hide your traffic sources.

I think he's concerned about his or another AM copying/stealing his method of generating leads...which has been known to happen.

I would be interested to hear people's ideas/opinions on this subject as well, especially more experienced and successful CPA players.

That sounds like a concern
