There are a  lot of scripts and tricks to cloak an affiliate link or any link for that matter, but I like to use domain forwarding for my affiliate links.

Forwarding just might be the hardest working domain bargain online. Domain forwarding will allow you to put any domain name to work. It doesn’t matter if you’ve built a site for it or not. 

All you have to do is select a domain name, add forwarding, and any visitor who types in that name will be redirected to the existing site you designate.

Forwarding is especially useful if you have a site with a long, complicated address. Most affiliate links fall into this category this is one of the reasons to use domain forwarding to direct your buyers to the affiliate site. Another reason to redirect affiliate your affiliate link is to hide the fact that it is an affiliate link at all.

 When you select a domain name to use for an affiliate link you will want to register a domain name that is similar to the affiliate page name or the original affiliate domain name.

 Look at the same domain name in a  different top level domain or change the domain name to make it more targeted to your buyers.  Try to keep it simple and use the product or service name in the redirected domain if you can.

Domain forwarding is easy and usually free with most domain services. 

You can find low priced domains at Easy Domain Name Service and they come with free domain forwarding .

Creating unique content for your website and blog is very important and you should work at it consistently. There are shortcuts that people use to make this task much easier, but eventually this may come back to bite you if the search engines catch on to what you are doing. You will be miles ahead if you to sit down and write your articles for yourself.

Some times it is hard to come up with an idea to write about, but writing articles should get easier as you get more practice. You will learn some tricks to get yourself started as you go along.

One tactic that I use when I am at a loss for an idea is to search for the topic that I want to write on and find one paragraph or idea that I can expand on to make a complete article to use on my blog.

If you are writing articles for SEO you should write for your blog, plus write some articles to post in article directories. Posting to article directories is important to bring your some one way links from the directories that you post to and from web sites and blogs that use your articles for content.

I have been working on a little experiment to see how long it takes to get a blog listed in the search engines. So I have been trying some different linking and back linking tactics. One of the sites that I am working with is a blog listed below.
