But, you can get around this hurdle by using a free URL direct service like one offered by Bravenet (http//www.bravenet.com). You simply place your affiliate web page URL into service.

example affiliate ID link:

http//www.myaffiliate.com?ID2345

and it will generate a shorter URL redirect URL

example:

http//clik.to/affiliate

that you can publish in newsletters, classified ads, or anywhere your affiliate web page URL would be seen publicly.

Your affiliate link is not visible, so no one can alter it. When someone clicks on your short re-direct URL, your affiliate web page will open in their browser.

The same can be achieved by creating an affiliate web page on your server (if you have a website), recreate your affiliate web page on your own web site by copying HTML from your affiliate web page

(example) http//www.myaffiliate.com?ID2345

to a page on your web site:

(example) http//www.mysite.com/affiliate.htm

When surfer opens web page on your web site, there is your affiliate web page.

Be sure that you cloak links on recreated affiliate page on your web site.

Both your affiliate linking URL and your affiliate ID are masked from potential thieves.

The similar can be achieved, if you do not have your own web site and you link directly to your affiliate supplied web page. Go to Bravenet Fast Redirect URL, enter URL of your affiliate supplied web page. Then use Bravenet redirect URL (which points to your affiliate supplied web page) to post to classified, sales letters, Solo Ads and newsletters, etc.

By masking your affiliate ID URL or links to your products will detour possible thieves from stealing from YOU.
