Link Cloaking…
Link Cloaking is a term used to conceal the true identity of your links. You will hear the term “Link Cloaking” more around the Affiliate Marketing Scene because most affiliates don’t want others to know that they are promoting other peoples products.
There are many sites and programs that you can use or even purchase….to cloak or conceal your true links.
But I have found within my WordPress Blog a cool little plugin that does the same thing…and best of all it’s free and on my own site.
First off let’s look at why we would want to us such a program to cover up our links? Well I have found that there are basically two reasons to use such a program…
1. If you are in the Affiliate Marketing Arena…you might not want people to know that you are an Affiliate. Or that you are promoting other peoples products.
So if that is the case you would want to check our either a link cloaking website…that you just fill in your affiliate link by copying and pasting your affiliate link into the space provided and it will spit out a link that will look a whole lot shorter and easier to read.
Now some software even allow you to name the link yourself…This is how it is with my little plugin from WordPress.
But again lets look at another reason that you might want to conceal your true URL…
2. I have found it very helpful with my blog to create a Cloaked Link to my blog post for the sole purpose of shortening the link to be able to post to Twitter or to place on Facebook.
This to me is one of the best reasons to use this little WordPress Plugin Called “Pretty Link”
It will install right on your Dashboard so that you can use it at any time…with any URL…It is Fantastic.
The “Pretty Link Plugin” can be accessed by going to your pluging page and click on add new…then type in Pretty Link in the search box…it will be pulled right up…click on the install link…and it takes it from there…You will be able to use it right away and you will not believe how easy it is…
Check it out…You will be glad you did…

Let’s begin….By looking at the benefits of starting your own internet marketing business because they are simply staggering…
After you read this you will be asking yourself..”Why didn’t I start this sooner.”
- You are your own BOSS! Yes, this is the most fantastic benefit of having your own internet marketing business. You call the shots! No pressures from a demanding boss or other employees. You escape the rat race, no sitting in the car in traffic on long hot days…no long commutes and time away from your family…. You set your own hours, targets and goals. You work in your own home, around your own hours.
- The money is YOURS! If you work hard, the benefits are all yours – what a great feeling that is… What you earn is not fixed or decided by someone else who thinks they know what you are ‘worth’. You determine what you are worth. As your value goes up so does your income. You have total control…
- Better work-life balance. Do you know how enslaving it is to be stuck with your 9-5 job…never mind the fact that you are probably not being paid what you are really worth…Plus are you making it to the end of the month??? With internet marketing, you achieve a better work-life balance…since you can work from home and set your own goals. You are solely responsible for how much you want to earn with your online business. You truly do earn what you are worth.
- One of the biggest draws to the Internet Marketing World is the fact that you can begin your business while still working your full-time JOB. This is a business that works around the hours that you can give it. You can still work at your job to get the paycheck to pay your bills every month but at the same time begin to work on your Internet Marketing Empire. “No-Pressure” you set the targets and the goals that you want to shot for.
- Low-Start-Up-Cost…Starting any business is a major expense in most cases. With an Internet Marketing Business…the start up cost is very minimal. Most of us will sacrifice something for the benefits of a brighter future. There are some small monthly cost, but in comparison to starting a off-line business…it can not compare.
As you go over the pros vs. the cons to starting a Home-Based Internet Marketing Business. The facts speak for themselves.
Yes…there will be new things that you might need to learn…but invest the time in yourself for you and your family.
