The affiliate link strategy has directed me more traffic as well. The strategy in tandem with twitter is a huge boost and really does work very well.

Yes, I too believe it is to make the URL short and sweet. But now its gone big and many are doing good with it as an affiliate sales link. Need to try it out my self. Nice post. and loved John Chow’s article too. Thanks for the link

I guess the point is to make the url shorter and less like an affiliate sales link. I heard about people using this successfully….will have to check it out. Thanks for the tip!

Well that’s a quite kool idea. I’m still new at this so I haven’t come across this yet. But after reading your post and John Chow’s I think I’ll start working on this tonight. Thanks for the tip Hari. Awesome blog by the way. Cheers

Ah! The legendary Link cloaking strategy. After I’ve started to use this technique, my affiliate sales went up by 30%. Amazing how many people would oppose another person earning a buck or two right?

Adding something, I’d say, an important thing to keep in mind is to nofollow the links. Bots don’t like the redirects that it generates.

Cheers.

Yes, using a Subdomain is a great idea.

I have written an in depth article on using sub-domains to re-direct affiliate links that also provides full reporting and statistics that your readers may find useful as well. This method also solves some long-tail issues some people are having with Amazon, Linkshare, and the like.

Late pass on that one, this method is nothing new, sorry, had to burst your bubble.

Actually i don’t think that this is much of a deceiving. After all, a link would be present only at a place which mentions about TLA or ReviewMe (whatever it is linking to).

And there’s a valid reason behind doing this. Easy to change affiliate links all over the blog.

That’s quite a clever idea for getting people to click the links. :)

Do you think it’s deceiving your readers though?
