Autoblog: Link Cloaking

November 16, 2009 by adbox

Link Cloaking detects if the visitor is using a browser, and if it is then it redirects the visitor to the link, if the visitor is a spider, then it will redirect the spider to one of two places which can be specified in your BlogSense settings area. These places are:

1) Your Blog’s Homepage

2) A random post on your blog. (default setting)

More Explanation:

URL’s are replaced with an alternate url to a redirect script, and then the redirect script discovers the intended location and sends the visitor there.

This feature is designed to protect the immediate discovery of affiliate links from both search engine spiders and visitors alike.
