If you are trying to save time then I would by all means purchase Pretty Link because it is alot faster, plus if you are going to be masking alot of links it will make it much easier. Regards, Joe Hi Charles,

What is the difference between using this technique and using the plugin for Wordpress "Pretty Link" Pro version? I see lots of talk about cloaking and masking. In the end Pretty Link seems easy to use and is only $97 for unlimited sites. Although your technique is free, I am considering the time it takes to update in the FTP opposed to in Wordpress Pretty Links (which is only about 30 seconds effort per link). All I want to do is redirect people using a unique page link I create on my blog to my affiliate product in a way that clients don't see the affiliate link. What are your thoughts? Thank you, Charles Bodi Joe,

I guess there is always going to something new to watch out for these days. Fantastic article and video Joe,

Those who are savvy enough to steal affiliate commissions can find the link this way. Do you have any alternative, Joe?
