Is it even possible to use the cloaked link on an email auto responder or e-book (PDF format)? I read on another blog that the only way to use a cloaked affiliate link on all three places (wordpress, email and e-book)is to purchase a domain that is similar to the affiliate site and use a 301 redirect. is that accurate? Thanks
Mark

What the heck is link cloaking? To be as plain as possible, cloaking affiliate links is the art of showing your visitors an internal link when they mouse over an affiliate link so that the visitor doesn’t think they are leaving your site.

[...] The usual tendency is for them to go directly to the affiliate domain. Thus ignoring your affiliate ID from the URL displayed. The best way to avoid this problem is by covering your URL. There are cloaking tools available over the Internet that you can take advantage of. I just started using the free WP Affiliate Link Cloaker. [...]

Actually each cloaked link doesn’t have much information. That’s why I didn’t bother about implementing an option to edit them. Yes, you can’t get the same item id once you delete a link as it is automatically generated in the database and it is unique. I will see if I can get time to add the feature of editing existing link, I’ll let you know

How do I delete all of the cloaked links and start fresh? I tried deleting the plugin and re-installing, but that didn’t work. All of my original cloaked links are still there.

I need to either edit the links or start fresh because I cloaked the wrong URLs. I don’t want to delete the URLs and re-add them, because the cloaked link will not restart at ?item=1. I need to add the URLs, but I need the link cloaker to start at ?item=1, otherwise I would have to change all of the links in each of the posts to reflect the new cloak link URL. I have some blogs with 100s of links, all cloaked, so I would really like to know how to reset the link cloaker by deleting all existing cloaks and reseting the ?item= sequence.

Thanks,
Alex

Affiliate Link Cloaker is just like any other link cloaker or tiny URL maker plugin. It only allows you to cloak any link on your website so that your visitors can’t see the actual affiliate link when they hover the mouse on that link. But once they click on it and go to the actual URL it won’t be cloaked anymore.

Can you please post a link to the page where you are using the cloaked version of the affiliate link?

“link is not clickable and looks static like normal text” – Actually Affiliate Link Cloaker has got nothing to do with creating a link on your website. Even if you create a link on your website without the plugin installed it should be clickable, no matter if the URL is correct or wrong. The problem can be if you click on the cloaked link and it doesn’t redirect to the target URL because that’s what this plugin do. So I think something else could be wrong.
