When they neglect focusing on their business in favor of

Most affiliate marketers take a very haphazard approach to their marketing effort.

If you're looking for a way to cloak those ugly affiliate URL's, there's a couple of effective ways to do so. Here are the methods I use with great effectiveness:Obtain a domain that you will use for URL cloaks from a domain registrar such as GoDaddy or NameCheap. Alternately, you can use a domain you already own if you want to. Let's use one of my sites as an example - www.dogexpert.info.1.
