How do i cloak affiliate links?

[ayushpant]

Hi,

I think that this might have been discussed in the past. But, how do we really go about cloaking links?

What is the best way to do it?

Any ideas???

Here's a long thread filled with options.

How to hide your affiliate links

ayushpant, this previous 5 Star thread has lots of information related to your question How to hide your affiliate links

It looks as if Linda was posting the same thing at the same time as I was, so you have two of us suggesting that is a good place to to look.

Great minds think alike Larry!

Here's another one too:

I agree. Just watched the Jeremy Palmer's video on affiliate redirect. Although, its good but very painful when you have lots of links. And, I am talking about 300-400+ links here. Phew

One of the benefits though is that if you use generic KW in the links -
like /bluewidgets (instead of the product name) then if the merchant pulls his program or conversions are bad, you can change out all his links throughout your site to another merchant all in one place. Or if the program switches from CJ to Performics. Just change it in htaccess or gotrythis or whatever you decide to use and boom every place that link is automatically changes without you having to go find them and change individually.

This is a Blog entry that was very clear for me to understand.
