Never underestimate the power of Google Sometimes I feel it can even read the flash content... A few months ago I have linked a affiliate site with JS embedded link and a week or two later it was crawled and banned. So if you want to hide a link I recommend just don't do it try linking it IN a small, but comlex layer flash. Cheers,
Google attempts to trawl with both JavaScript and Flash: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2008/06/improved-flash-indexing.html http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/new-reality-google-follows-links-in-javascript-4930 You can still hide stuff behind a FORM POST though if you really want to.
