2. How do you keep your sponsor from seeing you referral url on click stats and sales.

3. Mainly, what ways are there to keep your affiliate id hidden, preferably totally hidden from anyone trying to find it out.

So very many thanks to all the replies.
1. You can create a PHP file which redirects the surfer. header("Location: http://sponsor.com/?affid=1234");
But there is no 100% sure way of hiding your affiliate id from prying eyes. Using frames can be risky for the sales tracking.

2. Why do you want to hide this information from your sponsor? Don't think I want to help you on this one.

3. It is not possible to hide your aff. id totally from someone who is determined to find out.
