Link Cloaking

January 10, 2007

What on earth is link cloaking? and why should you use it to your advantage ?

I’m not sure about you but I prefer to cloak my links, not because I want to hide anything or do anything devious you understand, it’s just simply because I think it looks neater and nicer.  Let’s face it, who wants to read a big blue hyperlink like this http://memberspeed.com/rep/janetsawyer.html when, Memberspeed looks a lot nicer and serves the same purpose of sending your viewer directly to where you would like them to go.

Link cloaking enables you to post links whether they are affiliate links or not it doesn’t  really matter, it just tidies the place up a bit.  Of course, if they are Affiliate links, it also gives you a little bit of protection from link stealers. You know the ones I am talking about, they have their own affiliate id and use that instead of yours. Happens a lot with Clickbank, they replace their hop-link name for yours and they delibrately steal your commission, additionally they get the product cheaper. Sucks I know, but if you leave the door to the house open, someone will be tempted to come in, have a look around and take what they fancy! So don’t leave it to chance. Lock the door so to speak, by cloaking any links, be they affiliate links or just simply site links to other sites.

Here’s a site I’d like to recommend to you, some great bargains at some great prices, but as the name suggests, they are only offered at the weekend.  Take a look at this weeks WeekendSuperDeals                 

Want a simple to use membership script with lots of features. This script evolves as it matures, links your members only to your forum, limits your content to members, new members don’t automatically get access to everything.  Choose infinite levels of memberships, email your members from within the program, choose by country, memberlevel or products purchased. I could go on, but why not have a look for yourself.  LaunchFormulaMarketing            

As we are talking about cloaking and it’s uses, let’s take another look at a great method for marketing. Viral sneakiness is nothing underhand or devious either, it’s a great e-book written for people like me who like to use the easy less painful way of marketing, rather than the hard work way.  This book contains some solid information that can be applied by all who want to market on the internet.

Viral Sneakiness Report  got to go now, I feel an attack of being Vlazy comming on.
