I am trying to find out how to hide ugly affiliated links. Can you advise me and I appreciate your help? thanks
Have you considered the old school JavaScript method "window.status" or even using the a href title attribute <A HREF= TITLE="Go here to find out more about this product"></A>
This is what you need: <a href="http://www.domain.com" onMouseOver="status='Text To Replace'; return true" onMouseout="window.status=''; return true">Link</a> Code (markup): When you hover over the link you don't see the URL, instead it is replaced by the text of your choice. However, this solution will not work if the user has javascript disabled though. Hope it helps!
Ninja Link Cloaker does this. There are also free options out there. Just google link cloaker. Here's an online cloaker also http://blackhatwebmaster.com/affiliatelinkcloaker
I actually have a free link cloaking tool I am giving that will automate claoking and hiding your affiliate links. It's 100% free so no affiliate link in this. Here's the link http://www.linkcloakerprofessional.com Hope this helps.
