Affiliate Marketing Secrets

I was following up on my Profit Lance affiliate link and got the message, “Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)” What has happened to the site? I was in the middle of some training and starting to really get into IM and depend heavily on Profit Lance courses but now the site is gone. Anyone know what has happened?

How do I cover up an affiliate link so it only shows the web page without all my affiliate details but still keeps the link so I still get paid?

I have tried finding out over the internet whether or not it is okay to include an affiliate link on a youtube video of say a review and critiquing of board games, I want to include an affiliate link toward the end of the videos. but I read the rules and they do not clearly outlaw this if indeed it is outlawed imo. I have heard of people who use affiliate links in their vids getting banned for promoting money scams and stuff like that but it does not answer my question that if i follow the rules to the letter while affiliate linking is affiliate linking against the rules?
since I could not find an answer that was not subjective I want to know if anybody has actually had their vid(s) banned for this practice.

I Want to mask affiliate links on forum and don’t want to follow that links by search engines. I have seen in one website that it is showing like this “website.com/goto/name” But when i click on that link it is going to affiliate link. That type of masking i need. And i don’t want to index that links by search engines. Please help me

Can I get credit for the sale without using an autoresponder?

I’m thinking about buying Rank Builder by Alex Goads and was wondering if it really works or not. As you know it’s hard to find a real honest answer.
WAIT, Before you spam me with links I have and affiliate link of my own that I’ll use if the product is worth buying.
Anyone??
