stopping aff url showing in status bar?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to cloak affiliate banners/Images, so that the affiliate link wont show up in the status bar when someone hovers the cursor over the banner/Image?

I've made some .gif buttons, I want to link them to my aff program without the link showing in the status bar. Please keep explanations simple - I only know a medium level on html

I appreciate anyones help
Thanks

you can use snurl.com to hide your aff. link. it will be like my sign. link.

 

Thanks for your reply, I guess that is like a tinyURL redirect - am I right?

I was hoping for a code to apply to the button image links in my website, as I would need alot of snurls!

Any more idea guys ? Really need help on this.

Thanks

Do you want to hide the url altogether, or would it be enough just to disguise it? Have a look at this page of mine, at how I have done the product links. It's really easy, I can share the code no problem (PHP).

 

P.S. Or if you want, just try this simple method: http://websiteowner.info/tutorials/javascript/blindlinks.asp

It's JavaScript, which works great, but if your visitor has JavaScript turned off then it's no use at all!

 

Thnaks for the suggestions Markowe.
Yes, I think your 2nd suggestion is what I'm looking for - not trying to be devious in using blind links - as the linked image says what they need to know anyway - it's just to stop the hideous aff link stuff in the status bar!

Will give that a shot.

Cheers
