Why You Should Hide Your Affiliate URL
Losing affiliate commissions is not the only reason you should hide affiliate url’s.
If you can present your website as an unbiased resource designed to refer visitor’s to another website without you appearing to gain anything, then the visitor will be more likely to buy. Why should they help you line your pockets? By hiding your affiliate url- also known as a masked frame redirect - you improve your chances of closing more affiliate sales.
Further to this, visitor’s will be more likely to reccomend your site to other visitor’s if it appears unbiased- which will result in an increase of traffic.
