    Hi Two things you can do, one buy a domain name and redirect it, this looks good, and is cheap to do, or you could use a hyper link.

      Not sure what you mean by "cloak an Aweber Web Form", but if you just want to cloak the URL that Aweber generates for you, then the simplest way is to create a php file on your server that redirects to that URL.

      1) Open up a text editor and paste the following code in it...

      <?php header('Location: http://www.URL.com'); ?>

      Don't forget to change the URL above to your actual Aweber URL.

      2) Save that file with a PHP extension (ie link.php), and upload it to your server

      3) If you upload that file to the root directory of your server, then the new link will be YourWebsite.com/link.php (which will redirect to your Aweber URL).

      There are other ways to cloak/redirect links as well (htaccess, or redirect at domain level), but the above method is the easiest.

    if you want to cloak the URL, you can use Pretty Link. If you want to change the appearance of the web form you can use WPSubscribers.

    Could you not use Tinyurl? Try that out

    Where are you putting this webform?

    Normally you would paste the code into the page that you want the opt-in form to appear, so you never have to use an ugly aweber link to have people join your list.

    This way the link of the page is the one that you will promote.

    Best to have your own website and hide your affiliate links behind that.
