Affiliate Link Cloaker Tool

I’m really excited about this new affiliate link cloaker tool because I haven’t found a tool that actually allows you to cloak an affiliate link while adding the Google nofollow attribute. So, this should be a quicker alternative to hand coding your affiliate links. I’ve tested this new link cloaker tool in both IE and Firefox with no probs. I consider the tool to be in beta, so if you find any bugs or ways to improve, please post.

Update: As simple as it is, this affiliate link cloaker tool, seems to have been received well by affiliates and bloggers. I just noticed that it was mentioned in the November 2007 issue of the 1&1 Affiliate ENews Newsletter.

   Hi Emory,

   This is such a good tool to have. I love to have it at my site if you permit that.

   Humble, that is an interesting question you bring up. I think a mouse down would be nice enhancement. If anyone knows how to do this, I would sure love to know.

   This is great. I am going to redirect all of the affiliates at The Christian Success Institute here.

   When i view the affliate link on my Mozilla Firefox browser, the affiliate links is still showing clearly on the bottom toolbar below. Maybe the browser has gotten more intelligent nowadays.

   Or maybe it works well only on IE explorer only, i dont know.

    Jimmy Lee and Deano, I am seeing that as well with the current versions of Firefox and Safari. I’ll have to look into a remedy for this. Thanks for pointing it out.

    I must be living in an alternate universe or something. When I click on the code resulting from this tool, it brings up the target site, but with my affiliate code at the end of the URL.

    That is the same result I get when using the uncloaked link in the first place. BTW, I’m using Firefox, latest version. Thanks.

    Mitchell, That’s normal. The tool cloaks whatever appears in the status bar (not sure about FF anymore). It doesn’t affect what appears in the address bar.
