TinyUrl: Hide Your Affiliate URLs!

28 February 2008

I have mentioned before that affiliate urls are easily hijacked or bypassed in my previous post Simple Ways To Hide Affiliate Links. I have also introduced 2 methods of hiding affiliate urls so it makes hijacking and bypassing harder.

Another way to hide your affiliate url will be to use tinyurl.com. It is an absoultely free service that transform your long affiliate url into short ones and it makes it almost impossible for people to hijack and bypass your affiliate url.

From affiliate url like this: http://www.sellingppp.com/a.cgi?ppp=12024715
tinyurl.com transforms it into this: http://tinyurl.com/yspgt4

Your orginal URL is been completely 'encrypted' there is no way users can change the affiliate id at the back of the 'encrypted' URL or bypass the 'encrypted' URL provided they do not know the orginal URL of the site. In this case its www.sellingppp.com
