Hiding Your Affiliate link

    Is there a way to completely hide your affiliate link from the end user? I've generally just framed the affiliate page, but with some offers they break the frame. So I'm wondering how other people are doing this. I'm not referring to redirects either, I basically want the affiliate link hidden the entire time, even after they are at the signup page.

    I don't think this is possible unless you have a co-branding aff program.

    PHP redirect code isn't what he's after. He wants the URL to be something other than the affiliate URL the whole time, even when they sign-up...

    Frames is the only way I know too....

    not really helpful, but i've come across a software that cost somehting like $97 that claims to be able to completely obfuscate the affilaite URL. i can't remember the name of the software off the top of my head though. :(
