Affiliate Commissions Need Your Protection from Theft

I lose a fairly hefty amount of my sales commissions to affiliate link hijacking.
How do I know it's a 'hefty' amount?

Well, ANY money that is stolen from me qualifies as too much.. aka 'hefty'.

It baffles (and cheeses) me that consumers remove affiliate ID's to deprive the affiliate of their rightful commission.

Considering it costs them no more money to buy through the affiliate, I must assume that these folks are inherently mean-spirited.

The other thieves are affiliates who discover a product that they like through your affiliate link. In order to get a discount, they swap out your affiliate ID for their own, and get the commission on the sale.

Responsible merchants have systems in place that don't allow this to happen, making sure credit is given where credit is due.

To overcome affiliate commission theft, I've used various methods to try and beat the cheats.

None of these was foolproof however. It doesn't take a rocketscientist to find the links hidden by redirection scripts or right-click disablers.

However, the solution is finally at hand!

Within 5 minutes of buying and trying this new software, I was so pleased to finally have the problem beat that I was pretty much jumping up and down in my seat.

It is extremely easy to use.

You simply input the affiliate link that you want to hide, name and save the page (ie. cloaker.html), and then upload it to your server.

Furthermore, when using other methods to try and hide affiliate links, your affiliate ID may still show up in the address window of the browser. With this software, it looks like you sent your visitor to a page on your site.

This software is extremely good value for the money. You could easily recoup the cost of this program in less than a day. Think how much more money you'll have in a week, a month or a year by preventing commission theft.

Don't kid yourself, if you are making affiliate sales, someone is stealing your money. And now you CAN stop them.
