Link Cloaking

The main reasons to link cloak your affiliate hoplink.  Link cloaking is hiding your link from people.

§         People generally do not like to be sold and will trust you less are less likely to buy when they suspect that you earn a commission for recommending a product.  The hoplinks are unattractive, they don’t look natural and they turn people off. Tests have clearly shown that using an uncloaked affiliate link, significantly decreases conversion rates and that means less sales and less money for your efforts.

As an example what looks more natural to you (of course it is the cloak link).

There are four different approaches to cloak links you can choose from:

§         Purchase a domain from a domain masking

§         Use HTML code

§         3rd party provides these services

§         You purchase your own link cloaking software

I purchased my own linking cloaking software, as they are quite cheap. The one I use is called Safelink Cloaker and I have had no problems with it. There are many others available as well; just do a Google search on them. I definitely cloak all my links.
