Link Cloaking Conclusion

Whatcha Gonna do

Part 1 Conclusion

So now you know link cloaking has a relatively narrow and easy to understand use. It allows a friendly looking URL to hide sensitive affiliate information and send the user to the proper destination with all needed information in tact for you to attain the commission you deserve.

You have 8 reasons you should be using link cloaking, including privacy from affiliate spy software and, most important, centralized link management that can save you hours of work and valuable commission dollars.

You also know the paid and free options available to and why or why not you should choose any of them.

Now it’s time to get to the nitty gritty part, building your own link cloaking system. I will show you step by step how to build a link cloaking system that allows you to direct a “made up” URL to your desired destination with a single text file and a single line of text for each destination you want to cloak.

Believe me, it is an incredibly easy process and takes very little time to build, even less to maintain.

Side Note on Hosting

OK, here’s my one and only dogmatic diatribe for this e-Book. If you don’t have your own web hosting you should not be in Internet marketing.

I am sooooooo tired of seeing this method and that saying you can succeed without a web site. They are wrong and in my opinion flat out lying.

Any (non MLM) make money method I have seen that claims no web site is needed contains, at the very least, certain aspects of the method that are far more effective if you have your own web hosting.

Even the grand daddy of all “almost free” marketing methods, Bum Marketing, has techniques that require web hosting to be most effective.

Besides that, if you can’t afford $4.95 per month for an essential tool like web hosting you’re not serious. You’re just playing around and shouldn’t bother because you will end up spending far more than you will ever make chasing each new “make big money fast for free” opportunity that comes your way.

I have accounts with Ipowerweb, Netfirms, GoDaddy, and Hostgator.

My favorite is Hostgator. It is very popular among Internet marketers and I have had no problems that have not been solved immediately, and those have been few and minor (like another bozo using too many resources against TOS).

For $9.95/mo. you get more storage and bandwidth than you’ll ever need, until you need a dedicated server. It supports all the tech features you could ever want, has cPanel for easy administration, and Fantasico to install a ton of apps, like Wordpress or Agora Shopping, in minutes.

You are also allowed unlimited domains, MySQL Databases, sub domains, email, URL forwarding FTP accounts and more.

I would stay away from GoDaddy , hence no link. They are great for domains I get them from my own reseller account at http://esmarthost.com
