so doing what I have described above, would that constitute cloakingNo, that is not cloaking. Cloaking is where you show the search engines a page that is different from what your human visitors see. Example — You might show human visitors a trashy 888 landing page, while showing the search engines a keyword-rich page of stolen, scraped content.
What you are doing with your links is fine; this is how many people track the number of clicks on each link. There are multiple ways to do this; using a 301 redirect is a good, safe method. (That is what I use).
