Affiliate Link Cloaking - Part 2

October 21st, 2007 by Monika

In the last post of affiliate link cloaking we looked at ways to disguise your affiliate links, so that they are not that obvious on the initial glance. It was the simplest method of all, but also the one most beginners choose once they become aware of affiliate links being hijacked by others to keep the commission themselves.

In the end, it is certain that to allow for maximum affiliate commission retention, we need to cloak our links and make them look more pleasing to the eye. All the big marketers do this all the time. In this portion of our affiliate link cloaking series we will look at even more ways to disguise our links.

However, to do this part you will need to have your site hosted on a server. It won’t work with free domains such as blogger.com or even wordpress.com

The following code can be copied and pasted into notepad. Simply choose which Clickbank affiliate product you would like to sell by doing a search on Clickbank’s marketplace. Just remember to name the notepad html file with the name of the actual product. I.E. if you are trying to sell “blogging success” you will name the file “blogging success” without the quotation marks as an html file. This will make you affiliate link more official looking. Once it is uploaded on your domain you advertise it by using the URL http://YourDomain/Blogging_Sucess.html

You will also need to replace the AFFILIATE part of the URL below with your Clickbank ID, the same applies to the PUBLISHER part. There you need to insert the actual name of the product publisher.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>Loading…Affiliate Builder.com</title>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=”Refresh” <CONTENT=”0;URL=http://AFFILIATE.PUBLISHER.hop.clickbank.net”>
</HEAD>
<body><P>  </P></body>
</HTML>

Paste this code in notepad and save it as an html file and upload it to your server and use that address instead of your hoplink.
ie… http://YourDomain.com/Your_product.html

This method should then redirect your visitor if they click onto your link to your affiliate product link. It is a better way than the free options as it does look more professional already.

Keep your eyes posted for Part 3 of this series. You will learn even more ways to disguise your affiliate links and before you know it, you will be a skilled master.
