Frequently asked questions
What is link cloaking in affiliate marketing?
Link cloaking hides the true destination of an affiliate URL from crawlers and ad reviewers, while sending real buyers to the offer. ShieldGate does it in four reversible modes — reverse, mirror, gateway and short-link — so you keep a Google-safe version live at the same time.
How do I cloak affiliate links without hurting SEO?
Serve a clean, indexable safe page to crawlers and reviewers, and route verified human traffic to the money page. ShieldGate's ML score + ASN rules make that split automatic, so your organic rankings stay intact.
How is this different from Cloudflare's bot protection?
ShieldGate emphasizes deployable organization boundaries, self-hosted observability, explicit API contracts, and evidence-driven operations. Compare actual capabilities and deployment responsibilities rather than assuming a feature is production-proven from a local demo.
Can I self-host ShieldGate?
The repository includes self-hosting and monitoring configuration, but production operation requires applying migrations, configuring secrets, validating backups and regional controls, and completing the release-evidence gates. Hardware sizing depends on traffic and workload.
Does ShieldGate work with WordPress?
Yes — install the official WordPress plugin, paste your site key and every request is scored automatically. No theme edits, no DNS changes, no htaccess hacks.
How do I pay?
Card or ETH via Bitcart. No long contracts, no KYC on our end, cancel from the dashboard in one click.
