Link Cloaking - What Newbie Marketers Don't Realize

I have been seeing a lot of this "problem" or "error" around lately. For some reason there is a overflow of newbies here on the internet, that don't realize the benefits of link cloaking.

Link Cloaking is how you disguise your affiliate link, so someone can't put theirs in place of yours, to get the commission.

All of us need as much as we can get. We certainly don't want to lose any commissions to someone who stole them!

The other benefit is your affiliate links look more professional. No one wants to see all those characters in a link! Certainly if they do see them, chances are they won't click on it.

You could certainly purchase a link cloaker. There are plenty of them out there to choose from!

The only thing I suggest is to make sure you register with them, and use the dashboard. That way you can keep track of how many clicks you have received. (Their own tracking system)

I will warn you it is a very simple system. Don't expect Google Analytics or anything! It has done the job for me though!
