What's the pros & cons of using Javascript as opposed to HTML affiliate links with CJ???

There's really no reason to use javascript links... I'd recommend to just use HTML.

Sure there is...

1. You're not broadcasting to all the search engines your site is an ebay affiliate
2. It looks better when visitors scroll over links and don't see ebay url


Thats my view about it.

Thats my view about it.
1. Search engines don't really care, many top organic ranked websites (SEO) have un-cloaked affiliate links. And not everyone is an ebay affiliate. There are thousands of other merchants in CJ.

2. The javascript links have mouseovers that look like javascript:CJ('28NKSK39UFSNK'); - the OP isn't talking about mouseovers, he's talking about the full javascript links.

Thanks guys...

I cloak 99% of my affiliate links anyway.

Is there any other advice?

JavaScript stinks - and some people have it disabled.
