As affiliate marketers we have all heard or fallen victim to link hijackers. Those lazy so-n-so’s who hack your affiliate link and steal the commissions from your hard work. It’s not really all that hard to do.

One step you can do to semi-protect yourself is to cloak your affiliate link, either use something like goo.gl or bitly to shorten your link.

Or you can use a redirect script like found here

I’ve used them all, I’ve even just put the unprotected link up ;-(

But recently I came across Affiliate Link Magic. I absolutely love this because its so darn simple and does more than just protect your link. It adds a Web 2.0 style pop-up that appears on the page of the product your promoting and there is an exit pop. You can use these to get opt ins to your list (what affiliate manager will let you build your list on their product)

Watch…

Now go save your commissions with Affiliate Link Magic. Get it before they raise the price, this one is a goodie…
