Why you may need to cloak your affiliate links

While reading a review of authority site center the other day, it was stressed that more and more affiliate marketers are cloaking their affiliate links using some sort of scripting program. Why is this? Simply because many people will simply type in a webpage link to go to the sales page directly, without using the affiliate link — thereby depriving you of a hard-earned sale. With a cloaked or hidden link, such as www.mysite.com/I recommend.html, the person will not know ahead of time where they will be going when they click the link — thereby preserving your precious commission payment.
