Do you know that your affiliate link may cause you some problems?
What are “URLs” and “Links”?
URLs and links are website addresses, (http://xxx.com/xxx --- this is a link or URL)
What are “Affiliate Links” and “Referral Links”?
A referral link is the same as an affiliate link, this is a unique link that you use when you want to advertise a program or a product.
For example:
http://www.dreamteamformula.com/go/eleganz
The link above is an affiliate link.
Affiliate links or referral links contain your unique ID, for example the link above has "eleganz"
Why don’t you use your affiliate links?
Sometimes, when you post something that you don't want people to know what the URL is because it might give away that it's an affiliate link.
Furthermore, in some forums, your affiliate links are prohibited. When you post your affiliate link, you are violating the rule of the forum. So, you may be banned.
In addition, some people will purposely remove your ID and just type http://www.dreamteamformula.com
IF THEY DO THIS, YOU WILL NOT BE GIVEN THE DOWNLINE WHEN THEY SIGN UP!
So sometimes it is better to use a cloak link or redirect link such as tinyurl.com
Tinyurl.com will hide your affiliate link to prevent people from removing your ID.
FINALLY, YOUR LINK WILL BE VISIBLE TO YOUR VISITORS!
It's very easy to shorten your affiliate link with Tinyurl.com
1. Enter http://www.tinyurl.com
2. Type your URL that you wanted to be shortened in the box below the text "Enter a long URL to make tiny:"
3. Click on "Make TinyURL" button
4. You will get your cloak link easily
For example:
Before shortening, my affiliate link is: http://www.dreamteamformula.com/go/eleganz
After I shorten it with tinyurl.com, it will be: http://tinyurl.com/23thck
Wishing you success,
