If you are not using some type of affiliate cloaking method, you are probably losing money every month. Studies indicate that the theft of affiliate commissions amounts to at least 20% of affiliate sales. In fact, some studies report that this figure is as high as 70%, but I doubt that the actual number is that high. Even so, it can amount to hundreds or even thousands of dollars each month.
How do they do it? In most cases, affiliate thieves view the source code of your webpage and find the URL with your affiliate links. Then, they copy that information and create a new URL by replacing your affiliate ID with their own affiliate ID. They paste that new URL into their web browser and purchase the product that you promoted using their own affiliate ID. This takes the commission out of your pocket and puts it in theirs.
When this happens, all of your hard work and effort has been done in vain. The time you spent on researching the best product, finding the best price, and developing the perfect landing page was wasted. Your commission was stolen by a lazy, dishonest thief. And in most cases, you weren’t even aware that it happened.
If you are serious about succeeding in the affiliate marketing arena, you must protect your profits. So, what is the answer? The solution to this growing problem lies in cloaking your affiliate links. Cloaking involves a method of disguising, or hiding your affiliate link from those would be thieves. Although the technique may sound complicated, it is really quite easy.
Although there is some great software you can buy to cloak your affiliate links, there are many free alternatives that do the same thing. Do a search for ‘cloak your links’ and you will find several pages of cloaking options.
So if you are using affiliate sales as part of your business plan, use this very simple technique and watch your sales increase.
