Here's the current top selling Clickbank item:

FARMVILLE SECRETS! You earn 75% on this, $17.98 per sale after the Clickbank deduction.

If someone saw your raw link somewhere such as on Facebook or Twitter, or even that link here, right now, they could easily remove your ID jay1022 and put theirs in, without ever going to Clickbank to get the link, without putting in any effort in finding out the details of the product. Then they would start plastering ads all over, while you did the preliminary work of looking for the top-selling 75% commission item.

That quick link-hijacking is costing you money, $17.98 on each sale of Farmville Secrets, and that's only from not cloaking 1 link! Especially if the person who just "stole" your link advertises a lot more than you do, and IF THEY CLOAK THEIR LINK, they could easily rake in a ton more money than you do, thanks to you helping them by using a raw link!

Clickbank can provide you with cloaking, they call it a HopShield link, but look how big this is:

If you're posting to places that only let you enter a very small amount of text, such as Twitter that only lets you post 140 characters, you don't want that HopShield link hogging up HALF your ad space!

Now you have 2 reasons to use Viral URL, cloaking AND to make your links shorter. You could make yours even shorter than mine if you create a folder name with less than six characters (my Viral URL folder name is lmagic) then make your keyword 1 character to keep the link very short, either a letter or number (my keyword is 5) if you're cloaking tons of links, you'll have to start using 2 character keywords eventually.

That's only half the size of the original raw link, and less than half the size of the HopShield link!

If you have your own domain, you can use Viral URL's easy Advanced Cloaking directions for 2 reasons: It makes your links look more professional, and you can also shorten your folder name if you think it's too long:
I shortened lmagic to one letter, v ...and the keyword is still 5 http://www.topbiztoday.com/v/5

Clickbank has paid out $1,500,000,000 in 11 YEARS! That's $1.5 Billion with a B!
Clickbank has over 100,000 affiliates, and only a small percentage of them earn noticeable income on a regular basis.
Three-fourths of potential commissions are hijacked from affiliates BY other affiliates!
It's not a crime, it's just unprofessional and we don't even know when other people do it, we don't know if we could have earned more!

I've heard at least one of the the co-owners of VIRAL URL has earned $1,300,000 in 2 & a half years! "Only" $1.3 Million with an M! In less than 3 years!
Viral URL has 63,000 members, so that's not even ALL the Clickbank affiliates, not even two-thirds of them! Why not?
Three-fourths of potential Clickbank commissions are hijacked before affiliates earn it, because they're NOT cloaking their links!

So if $1,500,000,000 has been paid to affiliates by CB, and a potential three-fourths income from two-thirds of affiliates who DON'T cloak their links has been hijacked by other affiliates...

That would be three-fourths of the income from over 37,000 affiliates who don't cloak their links, who are only earning one-fourth of what they could earn!

We could say approximately one-third of CB payout was hijacked from the rightful earners, about $500,000,000 ($500 MILLION from 37,000 affiliates was hijacked by other affiliates over a course of a decade without them even knowing it!) They could have done something about that for the past 2 & half years by using Viral URL!

Don't be one of them! Join Viral URL now & USE IT to cloak ALL your affiliate links! Don't wait for years without cloaking, and then wonder if you're within the one-third of affiliates who continues to lose three-fourths of their income!

The co-owners of Viral URL aren't asking us to put more money into their pockets, they let everyone use Viral URL for FREE to cloak as many links as you want! Protect ALL your affiliate links from being hijacked, do it now before you promote 1 more link!More Details Here!
