Creating and Branding Short Affiliate Links

April 22nd, 2008 | Author: Jim Hutchinson

Most affiliate marketing training courses I have seen teach that you should hide your affiliate links. Doing so will help prevent others from hijacking your link and stealing your commissions.

Along with that, most affiliate links are very long and many are obscure, making them not real useful in everyday marketing. To combat that problem, there are many services that allow you to make shorter links.

While those are good services, they do nothing to brand your website. They also use cryptic codes to make the shorter links. Getting around that is easy if your web host uses cPanel.

The video below walks you through the simple process of creating and managing your own shorter links. Once you master this method, you will never again use another service.
