An affiliate cloaking script is designed to be installed on any domain name, and then operated via the site. The cloaking script is designed to be dynamic (php) and to be able to mass create cloaked affiliate links. A distinct advantage of a cloaking script over cloaking software is portability- being able to access it from anywhere and not being reliant on the one system.

Setup time is minimal for a php script- normally the only thing that needs changing is the chmod- this can be done via the website C Panel or via any basic ftp software.

It is estimated that between 20% and 70% of all affiliate commisions are stolen. If you are serious about affiliate marketing you need to be using some form of cloaking software - plain and simple.

Stolen commisions have become a big problem- commision thieve’s have developed tactics to override your hoplink with their own- effectively stealing your commission at the point of purchase. Affiliate cloaking software effectively hides your affiliate url from would be commision thieve’s, and furthermore presents your site as an unbiased referrer with nothing to gain.

Many affiliate marketer’s aren’t aware how affiliate cloaking actually works- some don’t even know that it is possible to steal affiliate commisions.

If you take the example of ClickBank, everytime a visitor clicks on an affiliate link on your website they are directed to the merchant’s sales page via the ClickBank Server. The ClickBank server writes a cookie to the visitor’s machine, which if they purchase you are credited with the commision. Affiliate cloaking allows the affiliate to hide their clickbank hoplink from the visitor, thus presenting themselves as an unbiased reccomendation. It has been proven that someone is more likely to buy if they believe the website will not gain from their purchase.
