So you made an astonishing auto-responder email series, you wrote tons of brilliant articles, and you have a very catchy landing page that sucks in the leads. Yet somehow you're getting about no sells and you don't know why. Sound known? I realize this is a quiet common problem, but it's unlucky that people still haven't discovered what's causing it.

I'll try to explain a little of what's happening to your sales without link cloaking throughout this article. On the other hand to what you might be thinking - it is fully possible that your sales funnel is making plenty of sales, but you're not observing any of the commission. Certainly this is a pretty big problem that you'll want to take care of as soon as possible.

Chiefly what's happening is this: the user is altering your affiliate ID to their own, or spyware on their computer is doing it. Both of these will stop you from obtaining credit for the sale even though you're the one who made it. There's no way that you might stop them from doing that, unless you hide your link.

Link cloaking is when you plan a redirect on your website that conceals affiliate ID's and makes it impossible for spyware or users to prevent you from getting sales.

I hope you recognize the difference this might make, you could be giving someone else all of your sales already. Rather than making money from your sales funnel you may be only giving it off to somebody else.

Though you make sales always without problems, few of them might still be stolen. It shouldn't damage anything to start concealing your links so you lock in the sales. The problem is that it can be difficult to make a good link conceal, unless you're a programmer (or something of that nature).

As a substitute you can use one of the several link cloaking services on the online, but I wouldn't recommend you just use the first one that you find. Most of these will in fact mess up the tracking cookies and you STILL won't get credit for the sale. You have to make sure that you're using a concealing service planned for affiliate marketing - and there aren't nearly as many of those.

I have heard terror stories of human who used redirection services like TinyURL and Bitly - seemingly they are notorious for often screwing up affiliate links and not offering you credit for any sales. Many various link restricting services will have these problems as well.

The good link cloaker is one that you may set on your own site so you don't have to be anxious regarding anything breaking down or not functioning right. As I mentioned before, this may be hard to make if you aren't a programmer - or willing to pay one.
