    If you have cpanel you should be able to check it pretty easily in your stats. Check your logs to give you an idea.

    Otherwise, you can set up some tracking on your domain, such as google analytics or statcounter, and see where the traffic comes from after you've installed the code.

      thanks for the reply for some reason my cloaking link is not showing up in the stats. it's a plug in that cloaks link which sits in my "/recommends" subfolder.

        lol yea. a good amount of it but when you consider the amount of clicks compared to the amount of optins...their conversion rates were low. but than again, i just showed the vender the two links i wished to promote without the ad copy.
