SECockpit - Link Cloaking of Available Exact Match Domains

6 replies
SECockpit uses their affiliate link in the program when you click on available exact match domains.

Not only do they use their affiliate link with namecheap, they also cloak the link and make it appear the link is directing within swissmademarketing.com, the company behind SECockpit.

    I don't see anything wrong with that, why not make something instead of letting namecheap have it all, also it's not hurting you in any way. And they have to redirect it to make it dynamic.

      I have not used SEOCockpit at this time, but from what I understand it is a great tool.

      What they are doing is not costing their users a dime. If I was a user of SEOCockpit I would be pleased that they are monetizing the domain purchases that originate from their tool. It helps SEOCockpit increase the revenue of their company, which allows them to stay in business and make improvements on their tool -- and that is a very good thing for the users of SEOCockpit.

        I have been using SEOCockpit since about the time it was first promoted, love it. Is expensive but then again it does everything you would need a keyword tool to do, and more. Big thing with me is its quick, very quick. I have tried/got just about every so called 'best k/wd software' and nothing gets within a bulls roar of this one.

        Thanks.
        SECockpit is a monthly subscription keyword research tool; as of right now, it's $97 a month. The owners claim it's so high because they maintain their own servers, and they gather data through MajesticSeo, I believe, which in turn costs them a monthly fee as well.

        I doubt it would be enough to make a dent, but I think they make enough with the monthly fee actually.

    I may be mistaken but don't most keyword programs do this to make extra cash?
