Hi Barry, I love those tidy little links rather than the huge great long ones that look so messy.
Enjoy the journey.

Barry,
Great information and free software. As a complete newbie however I’m not sure why I should cloak my affiliate links? Could you enlighten me please? Thanks a lot.
John
Hi John, yes of course my friend.
Sometimes our affiliate links can be bypassed, for example:
http://www.d9hosting.co.uk/clients/aff.php?aff=XXX is a D9 affiliate link. There are lots of people that would just copy the http://www.d9hosting.co.uk and go directly to the same page but without a referal, meaning you would loose any commission.
Sometimes affiliate links are so ugly that they put people of clicking on them, for example:
(and i’ve just got this link from clickbank)
http://7c1abgk0kcyl5o5mr7ki3cgckc.hop.clickbank.net/ And that link is for the silent sales machine, click it and see.
By cloaking our affiliate links, we protect our commissions and make them look more attractive so as to generate more clicks on them. By using the software supplied and the technique showed in the video you can make all of your links look like this:
http://www.barry-wells.com/recommends/silent-sales-machine.html but yours would read;
http://www.johnmcnally54.com then recommends followed by the name that you give the cloaked link.
I hope that helps John.

It certainly does help Barry,
Thanks for explaining everything in detail. I prefer the look of the links your software generates, so I will download it today.
Thanks again.
John
Hey Barry,
Nice video explaining the process of using the software. Tidy inclusion of using Filezilla as well.
Can I put this on my blog with a link and credit to you of course.
Scott
Hi Scott, yes of course. Thanks for asking.
Regards, Barry
Hi Barry,
I am finally working on your Cloaked Links Video and I just wanted to say thanks. I have been battling away at it and I think it is finally coming together. Your blog is so far ahead of mine that all I can see is a cloud of dust disappearing over the horizon. I look at your blog a lot and I am probably going to pinch some of your ideas if that is OK. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, dontcha know. It’s a really sharp blog.
Best wishes, Brian.
Hi Brian, thank you very much for the compliment. Of course you can use some of my ideas, no problem at all my friend.
If I can help in any way please let me know and I’ll do what I can. Don’t get concerned about the cloud of dust Brian, do what you can when you can (on a regular basis) and you WILL get to where you want to be my friend.
Thanks again for the compliment
Respect & Regards

Hi Alex, glad you liked the video my friend.
What I would do Alex is create all the cloaked links in one session and save them to a folder called recommends, then upload the whole folder to your server.
Then in your web browser go to the recommended folder (yourdomain.com/recommends) and click on the links one at a time then copy and paste them onto your blog and replace the existing uncloaked links.
I’ll reply to your email very soon Alex
Thanks again,
Barry

Hello Barry,
you know Barry, I have lost my job in 2003.y. and from that time I have looked for something really good on Internet. I’m here from end of 2007.y. but I’ve got just some checks.
And on the Start of this year I found (I think I saw his site 5th or 6th time ! ) John and his site.
Now I’m on right way to Success Online like I want. To Help people and just Help them to Success online. Other things will come alone.
Now is most important to do MasterClass to the End and listen you, “old experienced” marketers !! This is most Important goal to me in this time, plus other small things.
This week I’m starting with my New product. Week 9. That will be fun
Thank you for everything.

Hi Alex, I understand your situation my friend.
You made a very wise choice joining the Masterclass. Best of luck with creating your product. Its good that you listen to us older students, so please hear me when I say….
“Stick to the course week by week and you will progress. Its very easy to get distracted with other things online so please discipline yourself to course work First”
Best of luck my friend.
Barry
