|  Link Cloaking
Share on:
   
Hello Everyone, I am fairly new to this forum, and also affiliate marketing in general. I apologize beforehand if this issue has been covered, but my question is about link cloaking. is this an allowed practice? Are we allowed to cloak our affiliate links? I am just starting out, and basically trying out some direct linking through bing. I have read a little bit about link cloaking, and how valuable it is to do, but is it allowed? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance  |

Link cloaking is common practice and under most circumstances it is often recommended as affiliate links are often quite long and ugly. Bing doesn't like multiple links running to the same website, so if others are advertising your affiliate product you may have problems. Bing also doesn't allow the link in their ad to be different from the landing page url so cloaking would not be possible. What most people do is create their own landing page with their own url and redirect to the affiliate link from there. |

There are many ways to cloak links and it it very common practice. You should look at things like "php redirects" and there is a good thread on redirects by "peerfly" One advantage of taking a prospect via a page you own and then re-directing is to set retargeting pixels so you can remarket to them whether they buy, opt-in or not. | |
