Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Perhaps the simplest way to explain affiliate marketing is that it is a way of making money online whereby you as a publisher are rewarded for helping a business by promoting their product, service or site.
There are a number of forms of these types of promotions but in most cases they involve you as a publisher earning a commission when someone follows a link on your blog to another site where they then buy something.
Other variations on this are where you earn an amount for referring a visitor who takes some kind of action – for example when they sign up for something and give an email address, where they complete a survey, where they leave a name and address etc.
Commissions are often a percentage of a sale but can also be a fixed amount per conversion.
Conversions are generally tracked when the publisher (you) uses a link with a code only being used by you embedded into it that enables the advertiser to track where conversions come from (usually by cookies). Other times an advertiser might give a publisher a ‘coupon code’ for their readers to use that helps to track conversions.

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.
