Does masking links increase conversions? Is there any data?
Not sure if there’s a research done, but you gotta admit that you will feel much more comfortable clicking on a link from the same domain like example.com/programx , than a link 50 chars long.
It also prevents URL injections and all sorts of ugly techniques with purpose of replacing your affiliate tag, with someone elses.
A bit of precaution, the masked link names should be very related to the URL. Google does not like something like example.com/bestcasinoprogram that points to programX, as it finds it as misleading and might slap you for that.
