How-To of Affiliate Marketing 

Thieves are a problem out in the brick and mortar world is for business enterprise owners and thieves are a concern for cyber space business owners. The thieves in online world not different from the one in the real world. The real world merchants have  locks and alarms to prevent    thievery. Internet business owners  have  to use anti-theft software to protect their yield. Here are some things you can do to protect yourself and your commissions:

1. Use Meta Refresh: A meta refresh is a simple bit of HTML code which automatically redirects your visitor to another page (your affiliate URL). It provides a neat way of presenting affiliate links in newsletters. It potential helps thin commission bypassing and commission hijacking. A big advantage of using meta refreshes is that if merchants switch over their affiliate links, you can change links on dozens of pages quickly and easily by altering only one file.

One problem is that some search engines don’t like meta refreshes because they’re frequently used for unsavory purposes. So if you use this technique, use it with caution.

2. Use a URL redirection service. You can use free services or buy a unique domain name for each affiliate program you join. URL redirection makes affiliate links less obvious, so this will reduce some commission thefts.

3. Use a web-based ad tracking service. The ad tracking link at first hides the affiliate link, reducing thefts.

4. Use an ad tracking script. Good ad tracking scripts hide the affiliate link as well as being useful for tracking. It has the advantage that it doesn’t advertise someone else’s domain. 

5. Use JavaScript    . Because this initially hides the   link, it should reduce earnings  thefts.

Be aware that thievery is a problem for online businesses and take the necessary steps to protect your commissions.
