"Those are real affiliates links.  Use them as-is and you could lose your hard-earned commission."

From Alan Petersen

Dear Imperiled Marketer,

I will keep this short and to the point.  The last thing you need right now is another hyped up sales letter.  If you are using those ugly, long, daunting affiliate links like the ones above you need to stop-right now!

It's bad business and it's costing your well deserved and hard fought for commissions.  There is no valid reason to put your business at risk with the technology easily available today--which makes it as easy as copying and pasting to protect your business from affiliate commission theft.

If you're an Internet marketer you simply can't afford not to know the easy, step-by-step methods to protect your hard work.

Why?  Simple...

Affiliate theft is real. This is known as "affiliate hijacking" and yes, there are scumbag thieves out there stealing affiliate commissions.
Affiliate link bypassing is real. This is the practice of removing your affiliate code from the link to buy direct. I don't know why folks do this. Perhaps that ugly affiliate link scares them or they think they'll have to pay more. Bottom line. People do this once they see that "naked" affiliate URL staring back at them.
Your professional image takes a massive hit in the online credibility department.

Let me breakdown those reasons so that it's crystal clear how important it is for affiliate marketers to cloak affiliate links.  Here are the major reasons to start cloaking your links RIGHT NOW...

Reason #1 - Affiliate Commission Theft Is REAL.

You've probably heard of affiliate links getting stolen, reportedly losing up to 40% of the affiliate commission.

If you're earning $1,000 per month in affiliate commissions and you're not cloaking your links, you're leaving yourself open to have $400 stolen right from your pocket. That's $4,800 per year!

There is no reason to leave your business vulnerable to this kind of theft when you can easily protect your business by cloaking your affiliate links.

Reason #2 - A lot of people don't like buying from affiliate links.

It's sad but true, there are people out there who do not like to buy products from affiliate links.

So they see your affiliate link: http://www.e-junkie.com/?r=13424 and it doesn't matter that you've provided them with valuable information on a product or service they were unaware of.

How will they thank you? They will remove your affiliate code from the affiliate link:

http://www.e-junkie.com/?r=13424 and they will order directly from: http://www.e-junkie.com.

Nice.  Thanks for the free tip.  No commission for you.

Reason #3 - What image are you projecting?

The hard cold truth is that those affiliate links make you look like an armature. In this business image is important.

It speaks towards your professionalism as a business person and it brands your website.

What's wrong with this link?

Not only does that affiliate link make you look unprofessional-but it's not even branding your website.

Affiliate marketing is a competitive business so set yourself apart from the armatures.

Reason #4 - Higher CTR & Conversion Rates

It's a fact that people do not like clicking on affiliate links.

Study upon study have shown the effectiveness of link cloaking to increase Click Through Rates (CRT) and conversions (sales) between cloaked and non-cloaked affiliate links.

 

 

Why I Cloak ALL My Affiliate Links

I'm not trying to scare you.  It is, what it is.  We've all seen the stats that affiliates are losing anywhere from 10-40% of commissions because of affiliate link hijacking or bypassing.  I have no way to confirm those stats but I don't doubt it.  I know this a real problem for affiliate marketers like us.  That is why I cloak - All my affiliate links! 

But okay, you don't care or you don't believe that affiliate hijacking and bypassing is affecting your business.  What about the image your projecting for your business?  A typical affiliate link like this one:

http://quantumsoup.biz/cgi-bin/lyre.cgi/jvm/package/go_homepage.html?pack_id=1621&aff_id=1070

That link will absolutely kill your click through rates.  Look at it--Wow! That affiliate link is just down right embarrassing!  I had to reduce the font size of that link down to size 8 because it was causing the margins of this sales-letter to break. 

I mean, come on!  I don't know why affiliate links have to be so ridiculously long and ugly like that-I'm not a programmer.  If these type of links didn't reduce your click through rates and cost you money in terms of lost sales-they would be funny!  But this isn't a laughing matter.

As affiliate marketers you spend a lot of time and money developing your websites, running your promotional campaigns, writing articles, working on SEO, paying for mini-site designs, graphics, and more.  You know what I'm talking about.  Yet, when it comes to the all important call to action--the "click this link" part--most affiliate marketers drop the ball.

All that time and effort to get your prospects to click on that affiliate link and you leave yourself wide open to thieves and bypassers by using the naked affiliate link.

I don't understand why so many affiliate marketers leave their affiliate links vulnerable.  It's so easy to dress up that affiliate link.  You don't need to be a programmer, or web designer, or even tech savvy.  None of that is necessary.  You have so many choices to easily cover those ugly links for good and it's so simple-that yeah-I'll say it: a child could do it!

Yes, Alan, I know link cloaking is important
but it's so darn confusing!

I hear that a lot at the Internet marketing forums and blogs.  A common cry for help from Internet marketers, "I know it's important but with so many choices and advice-I don't know what to do".  Believe me, I feel your pain!  And you're not alone.  That is why affiliate link cloaking is a common recurring topic on the Internet marketing forums.  And it's the #1 question I receive on my Internet marketing blog.

When it Comes to Link Cloaking, A Lot Of The Information Online Is WRONG

When I was starting out, I too was confused as to what I should do.   Hard cloak or redirect?  Cloak them manually?  PHP Redirection or HTACCESS redirect?  Or should I buy link cloaking software?  Go ahead and search "link cloaking" on the popular Internet marketing forums.  You will see many posts with a lot of information.  And a lot of misinformation!

With the help of Alan, as I am old, I was able to cloak all my links in a matter of minutes.

400%

Percentage increase in click through conversions by simply cloaking affiliate links! That's right.  A case study of two email campaigns provided these stunning results.  The same e-mail content.  The only difference - one email contained naked affiliate links vs. the second email which contained cloaked links. 

The click through conversion rate sored to 400% compared to the email sent with non-cloaked links.  Sales also increased since the higher your click through rate the better your odds of converting them into sales. 

As you can see not only are you protecting yourself from link hijackers and bypassers but, by cloaking your links you will be increasing your click through conversion rates.  The more clicks the better your odds of converting visitors to buyers. 

So simple, yet most affiliate marketers don't cloak their affiliate links.  And those that do and are using methods considered black hat which actually violates the terms of service (TOS) of all the major affiliate networks out there. 

That is why I've written this guide.  There is so much misinformation online about link cloaking and so many different methods of cloaking your links that it makes your head spin.
