If you find that your site visitors have developed a high level
of resistance to clicking through your affiliate links, you're
not alone. What is it that makes affiliate links suspicious to
people? They're certainly not meant to be offensive.
I believe that it's the same kind of thing that automatically
activates your defenses when you walk onto a used car lot and
are promptly accosted by a guy wearing a green and orange plaid
sports coat, pink neck tie and white patent leather lowtops that
zip up the side.
Do you hate the feeling that someone is "selling you"? I really
think that it's the same thing when visitors see what's
obviously an affiliate link (or a poorly disguised affiliate
link) and start looking for a way to buy "straight from the
source" thinking that they're going to get a better deal!
If your website sells affiliate products, here's a simple
"Sneaky Link" tactic that will help you with affiliatephobes.
Note: This article has a free corresponding step-by-step video
tutorial that demonstrates the exact steps to creating your own
"Sneaky Links"...

Street-smart webmasters and marketers understand the importance
of taking every possible step to get visitors to let down their
guard. We seek information but we resist being sold.

page to create "sneaky links" that don't have the appearance of
affiliate links. You're not running a non-profit organization
are you? No? Well, let's just let someone else believe that you
are.
Here's an example of source code that will bare your soul to
the world. Note: the tags are altered with a period that needs
to be removed if you intend to edit and use this source code in
your web pages.
