Affiliate marketing is becoming popular among web consumers. Many of these people are aware of how affiliate programs work and some goes to the extreme of omitting your affiliate ID or use someone's else ID when ordering online. Others might not even click your affiliate link and go straight to the main URL. Any of these actions would eventually result to loss of commission for you.

It may be seem small issue for you yet if you continue to ignore it you will never know how much money you are losing from this type of leakage.

There are several remedies available to common affiliates to combat this leakage. Basically, to solve this problem you can cloak your link; the link will point to the same url, but the status bar will not show that url to your visitors.   The use of full window frame page is perceived as the most effective way to prevent such loss. The main process is for the address bar to hide your affiliate Id unless the referred client has a frame breaker installed. If the site visitor decides to bookmark the page, they will return to your frame page. Thereafter, they will be using affiliate ID everytime they access the bookmarked page.

If you are not the techie-type, another option is to use the link cloaker available from software solution providers. One that I am aware of and would not cost you cent is the one provided by Addme.com/linkcloaker. Just visit their site, fill out the form provided with your link information. They will then generate that cloaker code for you. All you will have to do is copy and paste the code into your page.

Try these solutions and compare your affiliate revenue before and after to see if this can improve your income.
