Hi, Does anyone know if it's safe to use tinyurl.com to "hide" my affiliate links? any bad experiences with this?
I tend to look at anything from tinyurl and know it's an affiliate link. But normal web users would have a hard time knowing...
done me head in, i thought tinyurl was an acyual program/affiliate. see what you mean though, iv never clicked on it
Why not use JS or something. I thought tinyurl's expired after a certain period of time? Could be wrong.
On your sites, use javascript.. something like: <a href="http://thesite.com" onclick="window.location='http://thesite.com/?ref=me'">TheSite.com</a> Thats what I've done a few times Non-javascript users wont get to the ref. page, but most of the time those sites track people using javascript, so you wouldn't have got it anyway.

I think a better way to do it, might be to hide it, IF they have JS, but don't if they don't. Like, on my site, I give something an id, then at the bottom I hide it with js, hide the element, if not it's just there, you can check it out on any of the doctor pages. gotta run!
