Hi,
Which is the best way you cloak links ?


I use a php script and did not really have a problem with it but I just want to make sure I have this part figured out once and for all.


Cheers,
Kachaloo

  • I wouldn't advise cloaking links when using ppc or seo. Your cpc will be higher or you will lose some link love with seo
  • the only links I am cloaking are affiliate links so I am ok with that

    • You could use url shorteners like bit.ly etc
  • If this for a wordpress blog use this..

    Go to wordpress and search for Link Cloaking Plugin on the plugins page.. Or grab this cool one w-shadow.com/blog/2007/09/19/link-cloaking-plugin-update

  • If you are using WordPress, the best Link Cloaker by far is the Pretty Link: WordPress › Pretty Link WordPress Plugins

    Your links will look like this.

  • I cloak my affiliate links using php scripts and I have never had a problem.
    What I like the most about this method is that you have whole control about how do you want your links to look.
