no ftp, best link cloaker legit

7 replies
Hi guys

I have some problems with FTP and can't upload at the moment.

I need to cloak some affiliate links but not sure which ones are legit and free. I have tried tinyurl but my CB ID still appears in the address bar.

Can anyone help?

    Use your own website to cloak your affiliate links. This is an increase in response and conversions in and of itself.

    Also, check your FTP settings. Are you using FileZilla? If not, then i recommend you using them.

    What platform are you using for your site?

    If it's WordPress, then use the "Pretty Link Lite" plugin.

    However, note that it doesn't matter if you use Pretty Link Lite or tinyurl or any other url shortening service as your CB affiliate ID will always appear in the address bar after someone has been redirected to the site you are an affiliate for.

    You could cloak the link entirely by using an iframe, but that is explicitly against Clickbank (and many other similar networks) TOS.

      Peter answered it well. I also recommend pretty link plugin for WP. It's easy to use and you have pretty detailed report who clicked on the cloaked links.

    Nipp.Me lets you create ten different formats of cloaked links including Tinyurl, Bitly and TinyCC... and it also lets you choose the name (use a keyword for SEO value too), so you never get a URL with a bunch of scrambled numbers and letters. Fully free too.
