I have a problem, I'm ready to get my articles submitted and my blog going, but I have no clue on how to cloak my affiliate link. I've been searching the forum for almost 3 hours now, but all the information that I've read just goes over my head. I don't have a domain or my own server. I really want to move on to the next phase, but I'm completely stuck. Is there anything that I can do to get this process moving?


Thanks,
PJ

    If you are afraid of someone stealing your sale (say with a clickbank hop link, by replacing their affiliate name for yours) then I understand why you want to do this.

    So, you have no domain name, yet. Okay, have you tried TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a Tiny URL In away, that's cloaking your links, and you get them smaller to boot!

    I would only do this for a short while, until you get enough money to purchase a domain, where you can get more secure methods.

    I can get a domain now, but I have no idea how to use it in regards to cloaking.

      If you do get a domain, you might want to think about a framed redirect. Let me post the code, and then explain what I mean.

      HTML Code:
      <HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="description" CONTENT="PUT A DESCRIPTION HERE">
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="PUT, KEYWORDS, HERE, WITH, COMMAS">
</HEAD>

<FRAMESET border=0 rows="100%,*" frameborder="no"
marginleft=0 margintop=0 marginright=0 marginbottom=0>

<frame src="http://AFFILIATE.URL"
scrolling=auto frameborder="no" border=0 noresize>
<frame topmargin="0"marginwidth=0 scrolling=no marginheight=0 frameborder="no" border=0 noresize>
</FRAMESET>
<!-- MAYBE PUT ANALYTICS CODE HERE -->
</HTML>
      1. Fill out all of the UPPERCASE text with your own, appropriate text, and save it as index.php.
      2. Put it in its own folder on your site. For example:
      /public_html/product/index.php or /public_html/yoursite.xx/product/index.php
      3. Now just place the following wherever you need to put your affiliate link:
      http://yoursite.xx/product
      Now, the address bar has your URL on it, but it loads the sales copy of the product.

      I suggest this for one or two products, as a first-time-only solution, but it works.
