			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to know some nitty-gritty on how to use video to increase your traffic, conversions and sales then you can do no better than go and download a FREE 39 page report that&#8217;s being offered by one of Frank Kern&#8217;s favorite buddies, Jeff Schwerdt  (otherwise known as &#8216;Herschey&#8217;).</p>
<p>Although he&#8217;s promoting his product at the end of this report, the first half is full of really detailed great information on how to make and use your videos to get real results.   There&#8217;s no optin sign-up or anything</p>
<p><a href="http://qvmblog.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/QuickVideoMarketingReport.pdf" target="_blank">You can download it for free here.</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure  you&#8217;re already well aware that videos are still one of the greatest ways to successful marketing and this FREE report shows you exactly how to start making your own videos immediately.</p>
<p>Herschey&#8217;s report is really excellent content, superior to a lot of stuff that&#8217;s being charged high dollars for   &#8230;<a href="http://qvmblog.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/QuickVideoMarketingReport.pdf" target="_blank">download it here.</a></p>
<p>This is a small exert from the report:</p>
<p>&#8220;If you go to our blog you&#8217;ll see some recent posts on a video launch we ran in March 2009 for a Forex product.  The past two launches of this product have brought in six figures each and every time the product was released.</p>
<p>Over a 30-day period we released several videos, and since I was the director, editor, and post production manager you get the uncut insider&#8217;s look at how we scripted and executed a product release using videos&#8221;.</p>
<p>Herschey then gives you links to videos showing their campaign and they were <strong>very</strong> enlightening!</p>

<p>The best way I&#8217;ve found to cloak affiliate links is as follows, it&#8217;s quite simple to do and it works well&#8230; and if it&#8217;s good enough for Mark Dulisse and Willie Crawford then it&#8217;s good enough for me!</p>
<h3><strong>Making a Simple Redirect Link</strong></h3>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></strong></p>
<p>Using Notepad or other text editor that you use, open a  file and save it as &#8220;index.html&#8221;,  &#8221;index.htm&#8221; &#8211; or whatever file type you&#8217;re using.</p>
<p>Then insert the following code in the HTML<br />
section of your  page.</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;">&lt;html&gt;<br />
&lt;head&gt;<br />
&lt;meta  http-equiv=&#8221;Refresh&#8221;<br />
content=&#8221;0;url=<span style="color: #ff0000;">http://youraffiliatelink.com</span>&#8220;&gt;<br />
&lt;/head&gt;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;">&lt;body&gt;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;">&lt;/body&gt;<br />
&lt;/html&gt;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">J</span>ust copy this code, making sure to replace the words highlighted above in red, &#8221;youraffiliatelink&#8221;, with <strong>your own real affiliate link</strong>.</p>
<p>Save the file, placing it in  a directory (a folder) that you have created in the root folder of your site and which you named after the product name.  When you want to refer  someone to this great product, you just refer them to your new url &#8211; as in:</p>
<p>http://www.yourdomain.com/productname/</p>
<p>If you have any questions please ask away in the comment box below&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>NOTE:</strong></span> It&#8217;s not advisable to use a javascript encryption method to do cloaking &#8211; in fact I&#8217;ve understood that it&#8217;s a big no-n0 because encoded javascript is the sort of thing scammers and hackers use so has the potential to be harmful which is why Google wave a red flag as of course they know this.</p>
<h3>Free WordPress Affiliate Link Cloaker Plugin</h3>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>If you use WordPress, there is a good plugin for <a href="http://w-shadow.com/blog/2007/07/28/link-cloaking-plugin-for-wordpress/" target="_blank">cloaking affiliate links</a>, called &#8217;Link Cloaking Plugin for Worpress&#8217; (surprisingly!) which you can download for free.  Make sure you read the &#8216;readme&#8217; file as you have to carry out a couple of additional small steps after you&#8217;ve activated it.</p>
<p>Quick &amp; Simple Cloaking</p>
<p>If you just want to do a really quick and simple cloak then go to:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.budurl.com" target="_blank">http://www.budurl.com</a></p>
<p>enter your long affiliate link, click on the  &#8217;shorten&#8217; button and Hey-presto! there you have your new link <img src='http://www.themarketingmother.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
