Why are URL's "cloaked" on many affiliate webiste?
All of the websites below drive most of their traffic from Google ads. They are clearly affiliate websites making money from reviews and top list of products. But when you however over the buttons you can see that they cloak all their links.
top10.com/online-grocery-services
compare.tech.co/best-crm-software-uk-v1
For example on the last link you can see that the link for monday.com is "compare.tech.co/go/mondaycom-crmsoftware_uk_cpc" which then re-directs you to monday.com?
What is the reason for doing this? Is this so that the google bots don't pick up that you have affiliate links on your landing page? Or is this mearly a tracking thing?
