    You can use a cloak redirect service like cjb.net

    You could just use a redirect (cPanel or .htaccess). If not try to find a shortURL script.

    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!

    Is there any script which I could put in my website folder rather than using those tools?

    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.
