How to hide affiliate links - GoFuckYourself.com

Vin · 07-15-2006, 12:52 PM

I am currently developing some new pages for one of my sites and I want to hide affiliate links. So if my affiliate link for adultfrienfinder for example would say; http://adultfriendfinder.com/go/g774012-pmo.sub I would like users to only see www.adultfriendfinder.com

Are there ways to do this, and how ?

yeah it's called an onmouseover.
I'm too lazy(and unwilling to help) to find the code so google for it

Code:

a href=http://www.adultfriendfinder.com/go/blahblah onmouseover="window.status='http://www.adultfriendfinder.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;"

Can't forget the onmouseout. If you do the status message will stay in the window.

Mouseovers will cover up your link in IE, but all surfers will still see your affiliate link in their address bar once they click it.

Yeah, but there is no real way to prevent this from happening right ? Unless you can work something out with the affiliate program, but that seems very unlikely

use tinyurl

Nah, I don't like the idea of redirecting users. Creates a feeling of distrust

tinyurl.com

You can add onFocus="window.status='http://www.adultfriendfinder.com';return true;" and it'll work in IE6, but not in Mozilla.

mardigras · 07-16-2006, 02:34 AM

.htaccess

You can try this mouseover trick
http://www.kryky.com/cooltrick/

If you run your link over "Island dollars" you'll notice that it will say http://www.islanddollars.com in IE or none for firefox in the status bar like a normal mouseover. Also if you right click and check the properties of the link it will also say http://www.islanddollars.com. But if you click the link it will take you to Islanddollars.com with my affilate link attached. Pretty Cool, Huh!?

This is also a pretty cool trick

I've posted the source below:

Code:

<HTML>
 <HEAD>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function opensite(galurl) {
return galurl;
};
// -->
</script>
<TITLE>A.</TITLE>




</head>

 </HEAD>
 <BODY BGCOLOR="WHITE">

<br>

<TD COLSPAN=2><a href="http://www.islanddollars.com" onclick=this.href=opensite("http://nats.islanddollars.com/track/NDA3OjU6Mw/"); onMouseOut="window.status='http://www.islanddollars.com';return true;" onMouseOver="window.status='http://www.islanddollars.com';return true;">Island Dollars</a></TD>
</TR><TR>
