What is url masking for affiliate marketing?
Question:
Answers:
I use a product called Super Affiliate Link Manager. There is a link in my profile. It takes your affiliate link and makes it pretty, short, and you can cloak it so that your affiliate ID cannot be removed.
People will find a way to get around it if they really want to but most of the time it isn't a problem.
Good luck and I hope you find your answer!

You are getting a little muddled here.
It is affiliate cloaking - this hides the affiliate link and stops people stealing your commission. There are several ways of doing this - the easiest is to use tinyurl.
It is not better from the search engine. It is better for the search engine if you use an inbedded link. This means you use a keyword as your linking word and then attach the link to the keyword via html.
Google adword does not like affiliate links. Clickbank explains one way of getting around this. A better way is to adword to your web site - not the affiliate link. Adword recognizes many cloaking methods.
