    No you can't as they are treated the same as affiliate links here ;)

    Not on DP. Masked links, affiliate links and links containing a referral ID are not allowed.

    Exilus is right.

    The guy is just asking whether the affiliate links still work if they are tinyurl.com

    Yes, they do work. There is also another free affiliate cloaker called www.cloakreferer.com

    Yes they work but frankly I am less inclined to click on a tinyurl than somebodies referral link, at least a referral link I know generally where I will be sent first. I never click on tinyURL's.

    It is still best to get your own domain with keywords in it that are relative to the product that you are promoting.

    Like others have been saying, you can, but there are better ways of getting the desired result.
