We know that Url cloacking/shortening services means masking your aff. link
and showing others a new Url (by cloacking it).. so, and by letting the browser
hide your real link .. I'm asking if Url cloacking can be detected by any of the
tracking tools that the affiliate networks use, your by any other tool..

Some times you find in the Url cloacking/shortening websites a service of
masking the real URL (aff. link) more and more , even in the offer's website,
and masking it all the time even if the visitor click on other links to visit other
pages (not masking if the user open a page in a new window/tab).

So, can that be detected if we use it anyway?

    I think I kinda get what you are saying you want to click on the option open link in a new window. And as far as cloaking goes it is mostly so Google can't see that you are an affiliate. You really want to make it as easy as possible to get your visitors onto the merchant site.

    Hope this helps and makes sense

      I've used this method in the past and its worked fine..

      I create a php file and add the following code
      Code:
      <?php
           header("Location:hxxp://your.affiliate.link.here");
           exit;
           ?>
      Then I just use that file as my link.

    I use the same method as tjs3 above with php redirect. Just open notepad, put the text in and save as .php when you finish.
