Since I upgraded to this operating system I can work my computer to

Some of the links you want to promote may be
ridiculously long and many savvy web surfers know that they can cut off
your affiliate link and still get to where they want to go which cuts
you out of a commission.
Also, you may not want to make it so obvious that you are promoting an
affiliate link. Sometimes the affiliate program to which you belong puts
your name in the link to identify you. I have been given lots of links
like this. The sites below will let you hide the real link and will also
let you make a much shorter and easier to use link that can be put on
flyers, handouts, business cards and spoken very easily.
