    I read somewhere that google and other SE don't like ref codes that much. Is there a way to have these on a page but not get penalized for it? I saw some pages had these links to a html rederecting site. is this good or bad?

    Can you rephrase your question? I honestly don't understand.

    Let's say for example i make i site for gamling, put content in etc. Than i have to link from this site to the gamling site using the refferal code ( i use a similar one in my sig ) I read somewhere that SE don't like these much, and a excessive use of these on one page could harm your listing.

    Anyway i found a site - www.url123.com which makes these codes cleaner. Does anyone use this method?

    I got grumpy at Amazon last year and moved all of their affiliate links into JavaScript:

    
    <a href="javascript:var handle=window.open('http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=AFFILIATEID&path=tg/detail/-/INVENTORYNUMBER/entrepreneu0a-20')">
    <IMG SRC="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/INVENTORYNUMBER.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg" border="0" alt=""><br></a>
    
    Code (markup):
