This massive problem has motivated a company called URLFreeze to develop a free service where you can take your affiliate link and replace it with a completely different shorter URL. This service use a "frame page" technology. Imagine a virtual glass and a frame going over a webpage. This glass and frame would protect the webpage and also cover the edges of the webpage. This extra layer would protect anyone from editing your cloaked link. They could not get directed to the companies website to purchase without your affiliate ID attached. This frame page also has a viral bar on the bottom or top of the webpage. This viral bar will include an advertisement and a link where a person can sign up for the free cloaking service (This will be a great advantage to you, I will explain later). To see an example click on affiliate link cloaked example.

When you sign up for URLFreeze Free Membership, you are getting:

• Affiliate Link Cloaker - Shortens your affiliate link into a shortened link. A shorter link is proven to be more pleasing to the eye.
  Say Goodbye to ugly long and unsecured URL

• Cloaked URL Statistics - Know how many visitors, what day they visited and where they are coming from.
  
  
• Viral Marketing - Submit your text ad to be displayed on viral bars on other peoples cloaked URLs.
  
  
• Affiliate Program - Every one of your cloaked URLs will have the viral bar. On this viral bar will be a link where a person can sign up for the free cloaking service. No doubt this free service is great but features are limited. To receive 100% of features, you have to sign up for a paid membership. There will be a percentage of people that will do this. This is how you will make your commission. If you decide to become a paid member yourself, you will increase your commissions substantially.
  
  
• Mailing List - Every time someone signs up through your viral bar on your cloaked URL or affiliate link, you have added someone to your mailing list. This feature alone is extremely powerful. You have heard it over and over again; someone who joins a list is a lot easier to sell to than someone coming to your webpage for the first time.
