The best way to cloak my clickbank affiliate links?

[Michael T.]

So what is the best way to cloak my clickbank affiliate link,I haven't been clocking them since now and I didn't(probably)had any problems.

No tinyurl cloaks please.

You can do it from inside ClickBank itself using the new HopLink Shield or use one of the options on the Affiliate Tools page.

header redirect is pretty simple. You make a "go.php" file on your host which has

<?php
header('Location: http://yourid.vendor.hop.clickbank.net/');
?>

and then refer to it like yoursite.com/go.php

I've used Richard Digg's MyLinkGuard. I wish you could change the color theme to match websites, but it makes for a good affiliate link.

I have several niche blogs and when I offer a ClickBank product I use my blog as a sort of redirect. For each cloaked link I use a plugin called Link Cloaking Plugin.

You can get it here:
ø Link Cloaking Plugin for WordPress | W-Shadow.com ø

Once it has been installed I cloak all links I want to use and then place the cloaked link in any kind of communication I use. You can use the cloaked link in forums, ebooks, email, etc.

It works like a champ and when people hover over your link (as we know they all do) it simply shows an elegant link to your website and they feel more secure in clicking it.

P.S. Must have a WordPress Blog for this plugin

Can you use these links for ezine articles?

The header redirect is pretty simple. Just create a PHP file and put the following code in it:

<?php
header("Location: http://affid.vendorid.hop.clickbank.net");
?>

You could also use the meta redirect version, which is just normal HTML:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;http://affid.vendorid.hop.clickbank.net" />

The meta version allows for easy integration into tracking accounts. For example, I use Stat Counter to track all of my links (well, most). I cannot use the PHP header function without getting an error, the meta redirect is an alternative and it works great.

Ezine Articles no longer allows affiliate links. You must not redirect in your resource box or elsewhere. You must send all clickers to the site that appears in the status bar, and when they get to the page that same domain name has to be in the address bar.

And don't try and use any masking tricks (like the GoDaddy forward/mask, or any others). EZA's editors will notice and it will postpone approval of your article.

Read the terms and conditions.

Use a php redirect. You can do this on your hosting C-panel. That way it will not show up as an affiliate link, but www.yourdomain.com/ddd, where ddd is a name you specify, but links to the affiliate link.

if you are looking for something with a more power, check this out:

LinkFuU - The Best Link Cloaker On The Internet

It does more than link cloaking. Has a few really cool features like
popups, slide-in frames, stealth (referer hiding). Play around with
the examples on the site.
