Definition
A link cloaker rewrites or masks destination URLs so you can share shorter, branded, or policy-friendly links while still tracking through to affiliate or campaign endpoints.
Good uses
Cleaning up ugly affiliate URLs in ads, mail, and profiles — while keeping click tracking intact.
Caution
Respect each traffic site's rules. Some networks restrict certain redirects. Always test cloaked links before buying traffic.
