Lame tactic to use, and people do fall for it as most people aren’t smart about what they are clicking into.

Plus there’s ways to detect a cloaked link, so the smart people could stop chop off the affiliate link.

Also the affiliate link won’t work if they already have a cookie to the site they are clicking into.

Well I think masking doesn’t work on old browsers and the latest browsers as well. Firefox I think thought its a security issue and had fixed it
