If you do any affiliate marketing, you will want to use a link cloaker. If you are using WordPress, there are many plugins available that can do that for you. This Link Master Review will show you the neat features added that you don’t usually find in a link cloaker.
Link Master was written by a marketer who just happens to be a programmer. He wanted a cloaking plugin that did more than what he could find available so he wrote one.
One of the main things he wanted was a way to prevent vendors from getting your prospects email if they did not buy anything. This is usually done via a popup for a free something in exchange for an email address. This plugin allows you to bypass the popup.
It is simple to install and simple to use.
When you first open Link Master, you will see only the logo and the two buttons- Create New Link and Help.
Click Help and watch the videos. They are short and to the point.
The first video explains the different types of redirects you can use and how to fill in the information.
The second video explains the use of the special “short codes” you can create for each link. These are really neat. For any of your links in Link Master, you can choose a word that appears in a post, create a short code for it, place the short code in that post to create a link to that product on each occurrence of the word entered.
NOTE: while I was able to see the hyperlinked words in the preview when I was editing the post, I have not subsequently been able to get the short codes to work. I am in contact with the developer to see if it is something in my setup that may be causing the issue.
When you have watched the videos, return to the main page. What you see in the image below are some of the links I have added.
To add a new link, click Create New Link and enter the information required.
This changes for some of the link types you can select depending on the requirements of the affiliate network. These are explained in the video and on the sales page.
As you an see, I am using the plugin myself and am very happy with it.
You also can see stats for each link as shown below for a brand new link.
So, in summary, this plugin gives you the ability to:
- Cloak your affiliate link with your own website domain name.
- Support 6 different types of redirects.
- Complete stat tracking showing total clicks, unique clicks, and clicks over time.
- Pull the vendors sales page into your website.
- Bypass on exit pop ups on the vendors sales page that lets them snag your traffic when a sale is not completed.
- Add your own on exit redirect into the vendors sales page that will redirect people to any URL you want if they try to leave without making a purchase.
- Automatically change and word in your posts or pages to become clickable, cloaked links.
I personally like the options provided and the ease of use.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee so why not pick up Link Master and give it a try. I think you will like it.
