how to hide affiliate links

willkey · 06-06-2008, 05:58 AM

hey board I need a way to hide affiliate links, I know google hates affiliates sites, I know already rel="nofollow" or using tinyurl, but is not enough, bots will follow the link anyway.

Is there any way?

thank you
Will

Google preferes owned contents, so if you are an affiliate Google will always penalize your site. Even if you do a great job in SEO.
If you have your affiliate links in clear, you will be penalized, I need to find a way to hide links.

Google does NOT, I repeat does NOT penalize affiliate links!!! They do ask you to have unique content on your website. Do not copy text from your affiliate and that's all. I know a LOT of affiliate sites are ranking far higher than the original company they are affilite with.

I rather use different ways to promote my site sometimes I use my blog just like a bridge to drive traffic to my link.Or I use this one shorturl - because sometimes short is better to hide my URL. Good luck
