How to Hide Affiliate Program Links in Your Web Sites
Earn More Money with Your Affiliate Programs by Hiding Your Affiliate Links
By taking a few extra steps when you add your affiliate links, you can hide the links thus increasing the revenue that your website generates. One of the quickest ways to do this is to create a mouse over. While this does not stop the removal of your affiliate referral number, it does hide it a bit more than if nothing was done. A mouse over is a fairly simple step to add when inserting your links.
Mouse Over
A typical link on your web site would look like this:
By leaving the link like this, the surfer can see that they are being referred to an affiliate program when they put their mouse over the link. By adding a few more steps, you can change what the surfer sees when they have their mouse over your affiliate link.
Change your code to this to hide the affiliate link:
Now when the surfer has their mouse over your affiliate link, they will see what ever message you put into the code where it says, "YOUR MESSAGE HERE".
Redirection Page
Another way to protect your affiliate revenue is to create a redirection page. You can do this by creating a subdirectory such as this:
www.yoursite.com/subdirectoryhere/. You can call the subdirectory anything that you wish. In this subdirectory, create an index page and insert the following code
The xxxx in the url above represents your affiliate number. Change the xxxx to your affiliate ID number.
Now when you want to send someone to your affiliate link, you link to www.yoursite.com/subdirectory/index and it will automatically send the surfer to your affiliate program while keeping your affiliate ID intact. Another bonus to using a redirect page is that this page will be picked up by Google. Anyone accessing this page on your site will also be using your affiliate link instead of having to actually click in the link once on your site.

Hiderefer.com works great!
There are so many around the net, but cutelink does a great job http://cutelink.info/FREE Texas Holdem Poker Bankrolls.html
I found a new web site http://cutelink.info which works perfectly for this purpose. The site completely hides the affiliate links from visitors. I think that is great. You can also check that.
How is that site? Am I right?
I plan to set up an affiliate link to http://www.ocoop.co.uk/ocoop-affiliates.htm
how would I mask this?
Site: http://cutelink.info
The site helps you to make a new cute substitute link for your affiliate links and longer links.
Here is a working example:
Actual Link: http://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+love&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Cute Link: http://cutelink.info/Love.html
The main feature I noticed about this tool is that it allows the visitors to make their link's name.
I want to create a separate page for IPO for my blog where one gets Stock Market Tips and Money Making Ideas From Websites Which pays ,but when I try creating using www.yoursite.com/subdirectoryhere/,it says page not found.Now How can I create this page,so that I link to it from main page.
