Here is my personal experience with a certain affiliate link.

I promoted this link for a year and I received 3 sign ups for that year. I cloaked the same link and in 30 days I received 7 sign ups. Imagine the frustration that consumed me. I now cloak all my links. Here is one I suggest click here to start.

Some search engines won't index links having "?" in them.
