If you don't mind spending $97 I would recommend Ninja Affiliate from Max Blog Press. They probably offer one of the best affiliate cloaking and tracking plugins out there... plus it does much more than that.

Absolutely great little tutorial.

But now that you’ve shown us how to do it this way… what I’d really like to know is this… is there a “good”, “better”, and “best” way to cloak your affiliate links, especially if you’re just now starting a brand new wordpress site?

Like you said, there are many ways to accomplish this, and several plugins have been mentioned here, but is there a “best” way to do it?

Thanks…Rusty

I haven’t reached the level of affiliate links yet, because I have a lot of content that I want to post, and that’s where I spend a lot of my time. However, I like the idea of cloaking your affiliate links, or any other link that you want to keep secret. Personally, I want to sell music instrumentals in the near future, and being able to cloak my links will be a major help to me, so I will definitely try this technique when the time comes. As for the subject of alienating readers by not showing the link, I’m not concerned about that. Those type of “smart” readers will probably find something else to be annoyed about anyway.

If you run just a simple affiliate website then you try this method but if are using wordpress platform then you must give a try to this plugin called “Max Blog Press Ninja Affiliate” . It’s really a superb thing.

Hey checkout gocodes free wordpress plugin I just started using it a couple weeks ago and it does the same thing but no code. Install the plug in will track click to the link also. you just past the affiliate url in it. your name for it and it appends to your domain. click the box if youwant tracking and you done.

Highly recommend.

I don’t have a reason really to cloak any of my current links or anything like that, but I am still going to save the link as one of my “You never know” links.

Doug I feel your pain with being the only one to handle everything at the office, Nate just had a baby and has been out for a little over a week. Im more than ready for him to come back!!
