Alright, guys, I can't do it anymore. I can't justify buying a new URL for every product I promote just to cloak my hoplink. I've seen tips on how to cloak a URL, but I believe that would only work if I have my own site, which I do not. I use Squidoo and Hubpages for my landing pages. Is there anyway to hide my hoplink on those services (and please do not say TinyURL)?

You don't have any other choice other than getting a hosting account and doing php redirects or something.
1) http://sturl.net http://biglnk.com http://gentleurl.net http://bittyurl.com http://www.shortenurl.com http://www.liteurl.com http://drlinky.com http://www.hotshorturl.com http://shorl.com http://www.trimurl.com http://urlcutter.com These and a few more are mentioned here. 2) Using URL cloakers like tinyurl and the ones above at HubPages acts like a wildcard, in that if you use 3 or more in a hub it counts as the one source, and there are rules against linking too many times to the one site in the one hub. 3) Instead of buying separate domains for redirecting you could get something like www.rtr-recommends.com. Or something else that's generic.
Ok, there are tons of free redirect websites, but I agree with Lemonarian, it's better to get hosting and do HTML or PHP redirects.
hey RTR. noticed you said please do not say tinyurl. i use tinyurl to cloak my hoplinks, is there something i should know? cheers.
three3s It just doesn't look nice, plus sometimes people are scared to click on tinyurl, thinking there might be some virus or something similar.
