Link Cloaking Question - Tracking Images.

[The_Stove]

I've heard about people cloaking links for various reasons (looks easier to click, SEO value, etc.)

As I understand it, one of the usual methods is having links to URLs on your site that use a PHP header-redirect to send the visitor to the site you want, so the link looks like this:

mysite.com/recommends/offer-name.php

my question is about links from CJ.com and such that use 1x1 tracking images as well as a link. If I put the image with my cloaked link, will it still work? Is there some other way I should go about this?

Take the <a href=> and put that in your header redirect, then replace that <a href=> with the location of your php redirect. Should work fine..

so for example lets say your promoting dish network

Your link from cj
<a href="affiliate url" target="_top">Free Install, Equipment, And DVR/HD
On Up To 4 TV's- Limited Time!</a>
<img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-3005895-10363553" width="1"

Now just replace 'affiliate url' that cj gives you with your php redirect like so

<a href="http://yoursite.com/offer.php" target="_top">Free Install, Equipment, And DVR/HD
On Up To 4 TV's- Limited Time!</a>
<img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-3005895-10363553" width="1"

That should work for you, test it out to make sure.
