Hi Tom, It depends where you are posting it. In some social networks, the affiliate link is hidden. If it isn't hidden and it is an affiliate link it normally stands out like a sore thumb. If you are posting a link on a YouTube video or somewhere similar it generally looks better your website . com/ twitter instead of leadmachinetweeter . com /affiliate 8194567 please note these are made up links not real in case someone thinks I am trying to promote something ;-) Just an example. Of course, I do not use affiliate links on YouTube videos as they can be trigger happy. But I may create social media URLs etc. Or links to a specific page on my blog or a blog post that is relevant to the video.
