Dont bother cloaking your clickbank aff links, total waste of time!

ghosting refers to craigslist. when you post ads and you think they are live but they are not.

Pay attention when your cloaking to not OVERclock justely your computer, or he will have serious problem after

Still a little unclear about ghosting. Good topic though. Keep answers coming please ^_^

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.
