Link cloaking masks the real destination behind your branded short URL using an iframe cloak, so visitors see your address instead of a long string of affiliate and tracking parameters. It is a Pro feature you turn on per link, and as with every Flyn short link on every plan, Flyn asks search engines not to index the cloaked short link. Pair it with your custom domain and every link you share looks like it belongs to your brand.
How it works
Up and running in minutes
Create or open a link
Add your destination URL to Flyn, including any affiliate tag or tracking parameters. The link works exactly as a normal short link until you decide to cloak it.
Toggle cloaking on
Flip the cloaking switch on that link. Flyn wraps the destination in an iframe cloak so the address bar keeps showing your branded short URL instead of the underlying destination.
Search is already handled
There is no search setting to change. Flyn asks search engines not to index short links, on every plan, so the cloaked short link carries that request on its own.
Share the clean URL
Send your branded short link anywhere. Visitors see one tidy address, the long destination stays masked, and every click is still tracked in your analytics.
Why it matters
What you get
Hide messy parameters
Long affiliate tags, UTM strings, and tracking IDs disappear behind your short URL. Visitors see a clean address instead of a cluttered destination.
Present a branded URL
Pair cloaking with your custom domain and every link carries your name, which reads as more trustworthy than a generic shortener.
Noindex on every plan
Flyn asks search engines not to index your short link, cloaked or not, on every plan and not only on Pro. There is no setting to change.
Built for affiliates and agencies
Cloak affiliate offers, client campaigns, and store links so the destination stays discreet while the branded URL does the talking.
Full analytics still fire
Cloaking never blinds you. Every cloaked click still records geo, city, device, OS, browser, and referrer in your Pro analytics.
Toggle per link, no rebuild
Cloaking is a switch on each link, not a separate link type. Turn it on or off any time without changing the short URL you already shared.

Frequently asked questions
What is link cloaking on Flyn?
Link cloaking masks the real destination behind your branded short URL using an iframe cloak. Visitors keep seeing your short address in the browser instead of the underlying affiliate or tracking URL. It works when the destination site allows being shown in a frame; when it does not, Flyn sends a plain redirect so the visitor still arrives. It is a per-link toggle available on the Pro plan.
How is this different from the free link cloaker tool?
The free link cloaker turns a long affiliate URL into a clean branded short link you can share right away. The Pro cloaking feature adds the iframe cloak that keeps your branded address visible after the click. Many people start with the free tool, then upgrade for cloaked links.
Does cloaking keep my links out of Google?
Cloaking does not change how search engines treat your short link. Flyn asks search engines not to index short links on every plan, cloaked or not: every short link is served with a noindex robots header, so there is nothing to switch on. This covers the short link only; your destination page follows its own site's indexing rules.
Do I still get click analytics on cloaked links?
Yes. Cloaking does not turn off tracking. Every click on a cloaked link still records geo, city, device, OS, browser, and referrer in your Pro analytics, so you keep full visibility into every click.
Can I use my own domain with cloaked links?
Yes. Cloaking pairs with your custom domains (up to three on Pro). When the branded address stays in the browser through an iframe cloak, using your own domain makes the whole link feel like part of your site rather than a generic shortener.
Is cloaking affiliate links against the rules?
Cloaking the URL is a common practice, but you are still responsible for disclosure. Most affiliate programs require you to clearly disclose the affiliate relationship to your audience regardless of how the link looks. Cloaking hides the messy parameters, not your obligation to disclose. Always follow each program's terms.
