Most people involved with affiliate marketing are using an affiliate link cloaker.
This is a piece of software that hides and protects your affiliate links.
Instead of showing the affiliate identity, you are showing a URL to your own website.
This looks way cooler than a long and sometimes ugly URL, especially the ones you get when you promote products from Amazon.
There are many different link cloakers, from software that you install on your computer, to scripts you have to install on your server. Most of them are not free, but I have discovered one that I have been testing for about a day (started yesterday).
This one is called GC Affiliate Cloaker and it’s a free affiliate link cloaker for windows.
I have installed it on Windows Vista and eventhough I am receiving an error every time I start the software, I can still use it and it works just as good as the paid ones I have tested.
Download GC Affiliate Cloaker (you need to add your name and e-mail adress).

THere are also some free, web-based link cloakers. Try http://www.off2url.com.
I’ve tried the advanced cloak, but get confused with the display url/choosen url field. If I’m promoting ‘abc’ whose website is http://www.abc.com, and my affiliate link is http://www.abc.com/?id=xxxx, is the display url as http://www.abc.com? Someone please clarify.
In my last post the choosen url is supposed to be http://www.abc.com (and not with the ‘?’)
I think that the display url is how you want it to look using your own domain.
For instance, if http://www.abc.com/?id=xxxxx is the affiliate url, the display url will be http://www.yourdomain.com/abc/

Thats what I tried and would only get a blank page trying to reload itself on and on and on…
oh, then I’m not really sure. It’s been a while since I’ve used it. I have bought a link cloaker for WordPress.
I can download and install it again and try and see if I understand what’s going.
