Affiliate Link Cloaker?

What's so special about this software? I'm revamping all of my sites to consolidate my affiliate URL links. I'm trying to do it via a 301 redirect but want a long term, sensible solution. I'm not sure what makes this software so great that I should pay for it vs. doing some sort of redirect.

My main concerns are:

1. The affiliate ID being corrupted and/or hijacked in the process.
2. The affiliate ID not being tracked due to the redirect.

I have another thread going on the same topic but I thought maybe the Affiliate Link Cloaker thread may of value as it's own topic.

Any feedback?

Elaborate?

I'd like to know why it's garbage as well?

I have a program similar to this, but I got it free. It seems to work well, you "hover" over the link and it says "done" or nothing. You click on the link and it then follows your affiliate link.

PM me if you need a download link.

Why isn't it garbage?

You can hide links for free... and you shouldn't hide links in the first place.

Even if you want to do it, you are paying to do the equivalent of breathing.

I bow down to the guy that decided to bottle water & charge a buck for it

Jesus Christ. Let me clarify so that PPP get's his rubber band unwound.

I WANT TO ORGANIZE MY AFFILIATE LINKS IN AN EASY TO DISTRIBUTE FORMAT. I DON'T CARE WHAT OR HOW I DO IT AS LONG AS IT WORKS WITH NO ISSUES.

Now can someone advise me on this? I could care less what the user sees, I mentioned this as an option. I don't need nor want to "cloak" my links but if it makes it easier for me to manage them as I add content, then so be it. Do I need to rephrase my question for a third time to get an answer?

Geez....

Please cool your rant please. You talked about hijacking, which you still haven't explained what you meant.

Organizing you affiliate links is a good idea, but you really can't ask here. You have to ask each program if they can understand the type of link you want to send them. That isn't a generic thing.

And by the way, when you ask someone to elaborate, you probably should not be rude when they do.

Geez....
