    Just use a Php redirect. 

    <?php
header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/referal=?93939' ) ;
?>
    PHP:

    call it whatever.. http://www.yoursite.com/redirect.php

    this works quite well. I use it on one of my affiliate sites. There aren't many products so a few php files to redirect to the correct link are no problem.

    Wilk06,
    It won't work if you put it all in one line.

    I was looking to do this myself and just had a thought after reading this thread.
    Would it work to just install one of the free tiny url type scripts in a directory on your site?
    I have seen them where you can actually choose your keyword.
    So you could actually have a link that looks like yoursite.com/offers/sale.
    offers being the dir the script is installed in and sale being the name of the link.

    The php code below works the best. Save it as link.php or whatever name you'd like.

    <?
    $o = $_GET['o'];
    if ($o == "a1") {$link = "http://www.domain.com";}
    if ($o == "a2") {$link = "http://www.domain2.com";}
    if ($o == "a3") {$link = "http://www.domain3.com";}
    if ($o == "a4") {$link = "http://www.domain4.com";}

    header("Location: $link");
    exit();
    ?>

    To create a link, you would use the following example.
    <a href="link.php?o=a1">domain link</a>
