Those who read this blog frequently and without scanning know that we recently launched Quondos in Germany. From the beginning we had an affiliate program (not like here in Spain where it took us 1 year to open it).Few affiliate links do not hurt if the content is quality. If your site only contains these types of links then sure. You will have a problem sooner or laterHiding could be a reason to be penalized. Although the plugin I don’t think can be detected with established tools like this one , Google always finds a way to know what you do. Using “Pretty Link” or similar could at least make you suspicious from Google’s point of view.

From day one, it has been very well received and has certainly met our expectations. Germans are more into Facebook than Twitter, so the vast majority of visits and registrations poland telegram data in the first few days came from that conversion channel . They didn’t rack their brains too much. It was a text like “look at this new online marketing project from Julian and Nico (our German partners) how cool it looks…” or something similar. At the end, they included the affiliate link with the structure you can see below.
This is a typical Quondos affiliate link. It ends with “?ap_id=gmkt20” to count a sale as an affiliation. The ID “gmkt20” identifies the user. So far, so normal and nothing out of the ordinary.
Why NOT to cloak affiliate linksNow the question arises of “why use such an ugly link when you can use plugins like Pretty Link that hide it elegantly”. In addition, many people fear (and in some cases it has even been proven) that including affiliate links can penalize a website in the tupu foi le suia o le auai i taga rankings. So why take the risk…?It is not always in your best interest to hide the affiliate link . The affiliate link, like any other link, contains text that offers the possibility of attracting the user’s attention and standing out. Now you may be wondering how…
A creative use of the affiliate link
I underestimated the German affiliates. In terms of creativity I would b2b faxlead have imagined that the Spanish would have easily beaten them, but in this respect they have shown that the freezing temperatures in Germanic lands are not as counterproductive as I thought.
The following answers can be given to this
Have you noticed what comes after “id=”? Those little details can make the difference between getting a click or not. Keeping the Quondos.com URL instead of hiding it can increase the likelihood that someone will click . Tools like “Pretty Link” generate links like “Mywebsite.com/go/Quondos”. In this case I might feel like I’m going to be sent to another site that I don’t want to go to.
Also, “http://www.quondos.com/?ap_id=info” hardly seems like an affiliate link (if you are not an expert in this) so it could be the link provided by the company where “more information” can be found. The trick in this case is to use a username that. Is “info” (in case of Quondos.com affiliate program this name is still available by the way). You could also use “about_us”, “promotion” or similar to multiply the number of clicks.
Even though everything I just told you may seem like a good idea. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it will actually generate the multiplier effect that we expect. The database I have of German affiliates allows us to formulate this hypothesis. But an experiment would have to be done to confirm it. Then the affiliate program you want to use has to have. The profile of the link I used in the example. It’s all a matter of testing it in cases where this little “hack” can be applied
