How To Cloak Affiliate Links

Are you aware that you could be losing sales because of how your affiliate links look?

There are many complicated ways to cloak affiliate links, but I decided to make it easier on myself and everyone else by offering a no cost and easy way to make your own cloaked affiliate links.

I set up an free link cloaker tool here (you may want to bookmark it) – Affiliate Link Cloaker

So that you can simply add the title of the website, your affiliate link and then press the ‘Generate Cloak HTML’ button and it will give you a code.

You just need to take that code and make a file on your hosting with the name of the page you want to use in its place.

Such as Yourwebsite.com/thisproductrocks.html

You would then need to go into your hosting and create a new file called thisproductrocks.html then edit the file and put the code into it.

You could also do this by copying the code into a text document and then uploading it to your webhosting as pagenameyouwant.html

That way when ever you link to that page it will automatically send them to your affiliate link.

No more ugly affiliate links! Yay!

    Thanks for the great tool. There are many paid tools out there but this is such an easy to use and simple tool…. I wish you get rid of your target sooner than your 2 year target. Have good time…

    I have a doubt. I successfully cloaked my links but when i click on the link, it takes me straight to the affiliate site’s home page. Is it all right or should it take me to my referral page.
    It takes me to affiliatesite.com/home.php whereas i think it should take me to affiliatesite.com/Ref-id=mine

    What do you say? pls advice.
