Hiding Affiliate Links With A Redirect Script
Here’s another way to hide affiliate links, this is just a simple redirect script.
If you aren’t hiding your links then you could be losing out on sales and clickthroughs, the less your links look like affiliate url’s the more chance you have at making a sale, it also stops people from chopping off your tracking ID’s.
Simply upload a file to your server containing the following script, just add your affiliate URL where needed:-
<html>
<head>
<title>Your Page Title</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;URL=http://www.YourAffiliateURL">
<script>
url='http://www.YourAffiliateURL';
if(document.images) { top.location.replace(url); }
else { top.location.href=url; }
</script>
</head>
<body>Loading
<a href="http://www.YourAffiliateURL">Page</a>...
</body>
</html>

IMPORTANT: Some link cloaking techniques may prevent some sites from dropping tracking cookies into your visitors computer which means you may not get credit for that referral. Check all links to make sure they work correctly, if you are still unsure use something like Affiliate Cloner to be on the safe side.
