Hide link destinations or not?

What is better? Should I change the status bar text to the url the processor will redirect to, or should I leave it?

What is your experience regarding sales with the two alternatives? Which one would you say is better?

[e-god]

depends on the way you are promoting the sites. For paysites its better to hide.. just my :2cents

If you can take the time, hide them.

Plus, never list sites and galleries because some lazy webmasters will steal the gallery citations and just change the referal codes.

Both ways work, but sometimes its better to let your surfers see where they will be going and let them decide if they want to click or not. If they like and trust your site they'll click it.

They will like my site. The question is whether they will feel "tricked into signing up" when I disguise the url or not...

yes i agree with you, they will feel tricked, let them see where they are going.

I was thinking of hiding, but yeh it's all about trust!

Just hide the reflink, i.e. surfer sees pornsite.com instead of pornsite.com/?myreflink

Seems to work a little better.

Good idea

Yes, I sometimes do that. In this case it's not possible, though. For example with galleries from CCBill or GMBill etc...
