- VKontakte link shortening service
In 2013, the daily audience of VKontakte exceeded 40 million people. This is the most popular Russian social network, and at the global level it is the 25th most popular site on the planet. After thinking about these statistics, I thought that I should pay more attention to this social network. That’s what I’m doing - today’s article will talk about how to create a hidden VKontakte link.
Proven methods: how to shorten and disguise an affiliate link on VKontakte
The easiest way is: shorten the link in VKontakte on the “Link Shortening” page. Paste the long link into the field and click “Shorten.” But this method may not help disguise the link.
Then you can use the Senler (500 rubles bonus upon registration)
In the mailing service, we create a separate group (I called it “Test”) and subscribe only ourselves.
Next, when you send a message with a link, you select only this group. You will receive a message in your messenger with an already disguised link - copy and place it where you need it.
Be sure to check the box: “Count link clicks” so that your link is masked.
Important: if you simply click on the “Send me” (test) button, the link will not be masked. You just need to set the time and send a real message to the group (namely to yourself). Then the link will be disguised by the Senler .
If you have not used the Senler mailing service, then read the article: How to work with Senler ...
Redirect plugins for WordPress
Let's start with the Pretty Links , it has a free version and shows the number of clicks on a masked link (English)
We install it on the site and activate it, then click on the name of the plugin in the WordPress console.
Click “Add new”
At the top you can write the name of the link (for yourself), then select the type of redirect (I have 301). In the second window, insert the link that needs to be masked. The third contains the name of the link on your domain in Latin. The fourth field is notes (for yourself) And then click - “Update” (on the right)
Now your masked link will be in the list and can be copied and posted on VKontakte. If you need to edit a link, hover over it and “Edit”
There is also WP Direct Url Links – a paid, inexpensive plugin. You can see click statistics and referral sources there, and it’s in Russian.
In order to use these plugins, of course, you need a domain and hosting . One of the best hostings is Timeweb , where you can purchase a domain and make yourself a website and subscription pages.
Masking with your domain through the Trimlink service
This is a professional link shortener where you can connect your domain. The Trimlink service is paid, there is a trial period of 5 days.
The Trimlink service has the ability to connect Yandex Metrics or Google Analytics to analyze traffic. There are definitions of boosted traffic and collection of retargeting databases.
In order to use this service you need to “Add your domain” and follow the instructions.
Friend, now you know several ways to bypass VKontakte affiliate link blocking.
Thank you for attention!
You can also write in the comments other methods that you use.
I wish you success!

The Wonders of Wiki Markup
As you know, VKontakte provides users with the opportunity to use the so-called wiki markup. This is a special language (or, if you prefer, a system of tags/codes) that allows you to design groups and communities. It is used in many engines, the most famous of which is Wikipedia.
A lot has been said about the rules of this markup on the page https://vk.com/wiki - so we won’t repeat ourselves, but let’s go straight to the essence of the question - how to make a hidden VKontakte link using wiki markup?
So, in order to make a word a link leading to your page, your public or your group, you need to use the following code:
[id____________|Alexander Ivanov] [club________________|Best group] [public_____________|RunCMS.org]
Accordingly, in the place where empty spaces are indicated, you need to indicate either the id of your page, or the id of your group, or the id of your public, and after the sign “|” The anchor is entered - a word or phrase that will serve as a link.

Hidden VKontakte link - how to do it?
According to statistics from 2013, more than 40 million people visit Vkontakte every day. In Russia it is the most popular social network, and globally it ranks 25th in the ranking of the most popular sites. This determines the advantage of placing hidden links on VKontakte. This article discusses the order of their implementation.
Using Wiki Markup
A special wiki markup is provided for VKontakte users. It includes tags/codes to style the appearance of group pages. The tag system language is used in various engines, for example, in the well-known Wikipedia.
You can learn more about the rules for using this markup at: https://vk.com/wiki, and we will look at how to create a hidden link on VKontakte using wiki markup.
For the intended word to become a link that will lead the visitor to your personal page, public page or group, enter the following code: 1 [id____________|Alexey Ivanov] 2 [club________________|Best group]
3 [public___________|SearchTimes.ru]
In places of the code containing spaces, the id of either the page, public page, or group is indicated, followed by the “|” symbol. you should enter an anchor - an expression in the form of a word or several words, which will constitute a link.
VKontakte link shortening service
The method mentioned above is good to use for placing links that have an anchor that is sufficiently attractive, for example, “next”, and not https://vk.com/public25435857.
However, the URL of the site that can be reached using your anchor is not completely hidden and is shown by the address bar in the browser.
If you want to make the link encrypted or link to someone else’s site and at the same time add your own reference, you can use the link shortening service available on the social network. I have already described similar services in the material telling how to hide a link in the text on a regular website. But there is no need to use their vkontakte, since this network has its own shortening service.
You can use the link shortening service if you go to the pages https://vk.cc or https://vk.com/cc. It should be noted that their interface is undeniably convenient: in order to get a short address, you just need to paste the required URL.
The service is convenient to use not only to make a link invisible or to attract visitors to a referral program, but also simply to place a shortened link.
Hidden link under the picture on your own website
Owners of blogs and websites want to make their images clickable, so that when a visitor clicks on them, he gets to the right place (for example, to the registration page). It's no secret that modern device users prefer to open pictures and look at them.
In this regard, experienced craftsmen have developed a camouflage method called a picture, which allows not only to attract a person’s attention, but also to save his time.
To use this method of hiding information, you need:
1. Get a source.
2. Click on the picture you want to place on your resource.
3. Find the “Insert and edit link” icon on the toolbar (resembles a chain) and click on it.
4. In the window that opens, insert a link into the URL bar.
5. Agree to open in a new window.
6. Your image is now clickable.
You can also encrypt a word in the same way. Only for this you should choose not a picture, but the desired phrase. The remaining steps remain the same.
Do you know the main secret of teaser advertising? This is when some understatement of the picture makes a person want to quickly reveal the secret of what he saw. Remember that by learning how to make a picture clickable, you can easily develop your own unusual, alluring newsletters, attract the attention of visitors, etc.
The need to mask an affiliate or referral link
There are currently a huge number of affiliate programs and inviting a referral (partner) has become profitable. After all, thanks to this, the person who called you (the referrer) will be able to receive passive income. Millions dream of this type of budget replenishment. Why not? Your referrals work, and you earn.
But it has its moments. If you just share links with people, you might end up with nothing. A modern person has moments when he refuses to click on such links, citing a lack of desire to allow others to earn money.
Having become interested in an offer, a modern user tries to get clear access to the system. Why is this happening? There are many answers, here are some of them:
- fear of losing money earned (people think that referrers get money from their pocket);
- no one likes to have their earnings counted (the referrer sees your achievements);
- reluctance to help a person obtain passive income, etc.
To attract partners and encourage them to use your referral link, you just need to shorten it. To do this, you can use different services, for example: vk.com, goo.gl or bitly.сom. To work with them, you will have to log in, insert your link into a special window and receive a shortened one. As you can see, this process is quite simple.
The only disadvantage of reduction using special services is the failure of the resource, its closure. In this case, your links will disappear.
When you decide to make money on the Internet, try to use different variations of encryption that allow you to hide your affiliate link. But remember that the best way to get passive income is by stimulating people. Try to stay in contact with your referrals, be always available and do not refuse help. Only this approach will allow you to retain valuable employees.
