This is a very helpful tip. I also wonder how to know if the affiliate links change. My affiliate earnings are really small so far, but I’m learning.

Not really I don’t really care whether the sales page ranks for the term or not

Do you get any negative SEO be ‘cloaking’ the links?
I have been advised in the past not to use similar methods.

Or is the balance of easy to maintain outweighing any lost google juice?

Thanks for the tip, I will check it out for sure. I had a morning of pulling my hair out setting up and going over old affiliate programs on a really slow net connection. The most frustrating thing ever. Anything that makes the whole affiliate process easier, the better. I know the code needed to cloak links but the real winner for me is being able to track clicks and, more importantly, affiliate program changes. .-= Kirsty´s last blog ..Wondering About Wanderstruck.com =-.

Thanks Jake – there seems to be quite a number of options around for people to chose.

Lis,

I was using a wordpress plugin awhile back to cloak affiliate links with WordPress. I don’t think it gave you click-tracking abilities, but I could be wrong. I had found it through the WordPress Plugin directory. An option, if you aren’t using WordPress and still need an affiliate link cloaker, is Get Shorty (http://get-shorty.com/shorty/). This is a free script similar to tinyurl and I’m pretty sure it does offer clik-tracking function. They have a live demo on their site.

I was using some html code, then found some better (and simple) php code to cloak links and it goes into one file, so same thing – if the code changes I only have to change it in one place.

Except I just discovered it doesn’t work with SharaSale links… can’t win ‘em all!

I was doing the same thing for ages, like looking back over the year so that my figures looked high . Putting an ID on each hoplink and then looking back once a week allows me to get an immediate feel and stop wasting site real estate. If something sells in the first week then I quick pop on another post or two for the same product … if it gets few clicks and/or no sales in a week or so, I roll in somehting else ///this boosts your ClickBank income a lot as opposed to just letting things ‘happen’. Like everything else on the web, ClickBank products blow hot and cold, so it makes sense to stay in the warm to hot zone. Happy Paydays.

Thanks. I figured as much but not having had it happen to me I wasn’t sure.
