Cpa On Youtube-Cloaking Links

9 replies
When I am promoting Cpa offers on youtube, is it advisable to cloak my links. Or it is just ok to keep the long from my cpa, which can be quite long.
Thanks

    its better of redirecting the affiliate link with a domain or you can use other free services such as bit.ly. It looks spammy with the huge long link.

      Agreed. Buy a $1 .info domain is so much better then any affiliate link or shortener. Even those look spammy. Then make a bunch of sub domains and redirect to the offer.
      For example www.yourdomain.info/walmart-giftcard
      Sub domains are free.

      If you absolutely don't want to spend the money for a .info try Dot TK - Renaming The Internet free redirect service. Make sure to send enough traffic to keep them from getting disabled though.

      Good luck

    Never put those ugly links visible to the public since it prevent people from clicking on them. Best solution is buy a cheap domain (.info) and redirect or iframe the affiliate link. I'd go for iframe since it hides the affiliate link!

    some people are also hesitant on clicking shortened or cloaked links, same case for long links.. experiment a little on what you should use and you might get the "big one"

    As Omid said , it is better to use your own domain . Make also sure that the domain name is easy to remember . You can use cheap .info domains ( if yo can't afford .com domains).

      I am going to take the advice of the redirects. I was looking in my you tube account at some older videos and some of the videos in have over 20,000 views. Most are on the first page of Google. I changed all the links and cloaked them. I will give you the results. Thanks

    Video marketing on YouTube with CPA offers works pretty good, but getting Fiverr gigs done for the creation will make light work of it for you.

    Most people don't click on affiliate links because they look all funky.

    What I do is create a folder in my ftp. I name it something short like "hi". Then I create a .txt document. I keep the name short with NO spaces. For instance if I was selling a kodak zi8, the document would be named kodakzi8.txt. Then I put the following code in the document:

    <?php

    header('Location: affilatelinkgoeshere');

    ?>

    Save the document then rename the file making it a .php file.

    Change kodakzi8.txt
    to kodakzi8.php

    Once you have renamed the file, upload it to the folder you created in your ftp.

    Your affiliate link will now be http colon //yourwebsite.com/hi/kodakzi8.php (Sorry I can't post links yet)
    This looks much better than an affiliate link and people clickety click it!!!
