If you are an affiliate for online products and services, you know the importance of cloaking your affiliate links so people cannot steal your affiliate commissions.

There are several very good link cloakers that cost some money.

There are also some free ones like snurl.com and tinyurl.com. These are very good, but they do not allow you to keep track of any stats for those cloaked links.

Now there is a free link cloaker that does allow you to keep track of your stats. It’s called OffTo.net. Jonathan Leger emailed me about it and I’ve been using it for the last few weeks.

It not only hides your affiliate information in a cloaked link, but it allows you to give the link a name and gives you a security code that you can use to track your stats.

It is free to set up an account (if you want to keep track of your stats) or you can just use the link cloaker. If you sign up for the free account you can promote this service and earn traffic to your own sites.

Have a new site you want to build page rank with quickly? Wish you had time to ask other site owners for reciprocal links?

I’ve already talked about Jonathan Leger’s inbound links program. You sign up for a nominal monthly fee and then you can submit a number of your sites to be included in the linking system he has set up.

At first he was allowing us to submit 20 of our sites (those with page rank of 4 or more do not count towards that total).

Recently Jonathan increased it to allow us to submit 50 sites! I couldn’t believe it. I thought it was a great deal when he allowed 20 sites to be included.

50 is by far the best deal out there for this kind of program. Another program I know of costs $49.95 a month and only allows you to submit 10 of your sites.

And any site that has page rank of 4 or more still doesn’t count towards the total 50 sites.

It’s not hard to submit a site. You fill in the URL, a description, the keywords you want to rank for, and put in some code from your site. The code is so the links page looks like the rest of your site.

That is the only tricky part of the whole process, getting the code to insert in the 3WayLinks submission form. But there is a video to watch that shows you exactly what to do.

I had no trouble. I was pleasantly surprised when I did it right the first time for each of the sites I have submitted so far.

Once the code is copied and pasted, they give you a php file to FTP onto your site. You then go into your site and link to the php file. With my Wordpress blogs I simply created a link under Links in the Dashboard.

The whole process took me 10 minutes or less for each site.

Once you have the file on your site and have a link going to it, that’s it. You wait for them to okay it (again, I’ve had no problem getting my sites okayed), and then they start gradually adding links to the page. Eventually you will have as many as 250 links pointing towards your site.

That’s as many as 250 links that you spent about 10 minutes getting, and that cost you about $1 per site. Not bad.
