    If you don't want your network to know the source of the traffic (landing page or your domain), you use redirect correct?
    I don't wanna use tinyurl, what are other options to redirect traffic from your landing page?

    So you want to cloak your URL?

    If you want URL redirection then you can use bit.ly very good tracking service tracks where the clicks comming from timing, etc.

    if you dont want to use url shortening service but want to cloak your URL then you can simply make a link.php

    <?php

    $urls = array (

    'aff' => 'http://www.aff.com/youraffcode';

    );

    header ('Location: ' . $urls[$_REQUEST['go']]);

    ?>

    and simply the url becomes: www.yoururl.com/link.php?go=aff

    and you simply hided your URl again, if you use Wordpress theres cloaking plugins available

    yeah it will, just curious why do you want to hide your website from the affiliate company itself?

    ok, here is how I do it, go to goddaddy.com by a .info domain name, they are only 99cents, forward it to your affiliate site, and then mask it. when clicks on your domain it takes them to the affill site and it stays your domain name, with the icann fee it will cost 1.19

    You can also send the traffic to a blank html page with a javascript redirect. Google isn't a big fan of that kind of redirect however.

    if you blank the referer the aff manager will get suspicious but you can always say that you dont want to give away your landing pages for security purposes... if your leads are good this is totally fine with them
