Most of the time they don't even have an interest in the product that you are linking to. After more than a year as an affiliate marketer I have been the victim of this behavior on, I believe, many occasions and still struggle to understand the logic behind it. All the cloaking tools under the sun will not stop these scoundrels and many times I have not even known about my broken links until notified (because you are not supposed to click on your own affiliate links - even to test them). I would like to learn more about preventative measures apart from simple cloaking.
