How To Hide Your Affiliate Link With This Simple One Line Code
A significant problem affiliate marketers have in
generating sales from their websites has to do with the
affiliate identifier code that shows up in the status bar
url of a hyperlink.

There are those who, once noticing that a link is for an
affiliate, will determine that the website they are on has
a vested interest in selling rather than providing honest
information. Others will merely copy out the site and buy
directly rather than use the affiliate link mistakenly
thinking they will get it cheaper that way.

Why potential customers do such things is irrational but
still loses you a sale and commission. There are several
ways to circumvent this dilemma.

There are various programs and processes that can disguise
or encrypt the affiliate identifier url address. Some
programs will replace the link with ascii straight code
and produce the address in a block of seemingly random
characters.

Its only major drawback is that the browser status bar will
often translate it back into its original readable form.

Creating a redirect page is another way to mask an
affiliate hyperlink. There are programs that will generate
an encrypted code of your affiliate information.

You would then load this page onto your website and instead
of the affiliate link address, you would use a hyperlink to
the page you created for your advertisement link. When the
customer clicks the link it would take them to your
encrypted page that would connect them with the product or
sales page without your customer knowing they had been
rerouted. Read more »
