Cloaking Amazon/Ebay Affiliate links using bit.ly?

4 replies
I use bit.ly quite a lot but have never asked for opinions on it.

What's the verdict on cloaking links.. Do it or don't do it?

    Do it but use your own server to do it ... Keep full control over your stuff and do not depend upon some other server when it comes to your sales..

    Hi Mate,

    Great advice from James.

    If you use a service to cloak your links you are
    totally stuffed if they close down or their links
    dont work all of a sudden.

    You always want to cover your ass from
    "Murphy's Law"

    The best thing to do is to cloak and host on
    your own server.

    You can do that for free with

    Click-2-Cloak

    Take Care,

    Michael Silvester

    If you are wanting a short url to use the go register a similar name to yours and use it. For example I own arpd.info because I am fixing to use it as my short url for some upgrades I have going on for AP...

    So try to find a 3 or 4 letter domain (even if it is .info) that matches your site and direct everything through the short domain name.
