Using redirects or shorteners can make links look cleaner and easier to share, especially when the original affiliate link is long or messy. However, it’s important not to hide the fact that it’s an affiliate link. Even if you use a short link, you should still include a clear disclosure near it. Some platforms also have rules about using shorteners or cloaked links, so it’s good to check their terms before posting. What matters most is that the viewer knows there’s a paid relationship behind the link. Have you ever noticed shortened links and wondered where they really lead?
