I have borrowed the link from a post i was just reading, I know it is possible to attach this to a hyper link for example to activae the id on incoming.

Is there a way to code the hyperlink to hide the user id section in the adress bar and show the url only or can this only be done with the code itself

any tips would be great. ( i dont wish to mislead people, i just think it looks sloppy when done this way )

You cannot get it hidden in the address bar, but to hide it when your mouse hovers over it on your webpage use this:

<a href="http://www.income4beginners.com/index.php?uid=4778" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.income4beginners.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;">http://www.income4beginners.com</a>:)

you can always create a blank page and then do a redirect to your affiliate site... most cPanel hosting does this with easy configuration
forexample

yoursite.com/blank.html ---> redirects to your affiliate site

I agree with s&ptrader get a redirect script and have a subpage off your website or just register a domain for that affiliate product. You could even get a .info site for I think 1.99 and use free hosting just for the redirect.
