Why in the world one want to cloak, hide, or shorten their affiliate URLs?

To answer that question look at the affiliate link below:

http://instantcommission.me/vip/traffictrick/?e=rjeromeh

All a person has to do is bypass the affiliate code portion of this URL and select:

http://instantcommission.me

and be taken to the same website and you don't get a commission if that individual makes a purchase.

Now, if you cloak or hide that affiliate URL, such a thing would not be possible. Thus, if you shortened:

http://instantcommission.me/vip/traffictrick/?e=rjeromeh

to

http://hopurl.com/48845, for instance ...

There is no way the affiliate link can be bypassed because it has been cloaked.

The reason why you want to shorten your affiliate URLs is because:

http://instantcommission.me/vip/traffictrick/?e=rjeromeh <-- IS NOT Search Engine Friendly.

While ...

http://hopurl.com/48845 <-- IS Search Engine Friendly.

The Free cloaking tool that lets you cloak (hide), shorten, track, and manage your affiliate URLs is called HopURL.

HopURL also lets you track conversion rates (Number of People Who Visit Your Website to the Number of People Who Click on Your Affiliate URL).

I like it too, because I dont have to remember all of my affiliate URLs. I can manage them all from one place.

So, if you have affiliate links, you want to look at this free tool.

I have prepared a video for you. Enjoy!
