If you are in the business of marketing you undoubtedly know how ugly those affiliates links are. Like this $20 LogoWorks Coupon link. Just hover over the link and look at your status bar. A lot of users would probably not trust that link now would they?

But the cloaking affiliate links tutorial outlines how to cloak your affiliate link to a more trustworthy source, your website. By using a redirect page inside your website which will redirect your users to the affiliate link it gives you the option to link to your file not the ugly affiliate link.

For example here is the same $20 LogoWorks Coupon with cloaking employed. Notice that if you hover over it it shows a link to a php file in the special offers directory, but it leads to the same LogoWorks page.

This will greatly reduce user hijacking of affiliate links or any kind of bypassing. As well as provide a trustworthy link that seems to point inside your website not some weird CJ setup logo.
