Encrypting Keywords

I had to post this because it’s bugging me.

I’ve had a couple people comment (in reference to the original post) about how there is this great guide here or there about how to encrypt their keywords before sending them to the affiliate network SUB-ID.

Can I share a big huge secret with all of you?
Every guide I’ve seen doesn’t do a bit of good at hiding your keywords.

Do you want to know why?

Think about how headers work in PHP and you’ll realize that affiliate networks can still see your keywords used! Think about it for a second… Unless you add 1 vital step, your efforts are a waste.

This post isn’t for most affiliates, just those encrypt their keywords and think they’re safe.
