Serious affiliate makerter let me show you how to hide affiliate url to avoid loss of referals because the people you are about to recruit may follow your main domain url and disregard your referral links. I mean for instance that, when you want to promote apsense to get referrals do not put your link like this- http://apsense.com/invite/nordichuks rather put your links like this http://apsense.cc/clv76 ,or http://budurl.com/5fma ,or http://tinyurl.com/cjdt that is shortening http://apsense.com/invite/nordichuks, this helps get referral faster. but you if don't shorten affiliates links you intending referrals, that are smart will go their their computer after reading your reviews and type http://apsense.com leaving or without your ref. links /invite/nordichuks.
Again use hyherlinks in your computer the icom looks like chain.
I saw that most people in apsense don't shorten, try to shorten especially now that we have apsense url shortener ,so add it as part of service, Or use others.
I feel happy helping poeple to succeed.
