    ghosting is when you post an ad but it doesn't show up

    this usually happens on craigslist to help fight spam

    I am new to this term myself but when we cloak an affiliate link I understand that we modify it so that it does not look like such an obvious affiliate link.

    We do this to:
    1) Hide it from the serps so it does not look like an affiliate site
    2) Increase conversions (some people do not want to click affiliate links)

    I would be interested to learn why gahoachma says cloaking clickbank links is a waste of time.
