whats the best way to do this? just drop everything into an iframe?

easiest way would be an .htaccess redirect

Code:

RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 /affiliate1 http://www.affiliate1.com/path/to/whatever?id=112
Redirect 301 /affiliate2 http://www.affiliate2.com/path/to/whatever?id=112

So now any visits to yorusite.com/affiliate1 will redirect to affiliate1.com/path/to/whatever?id=112 .. You could iframe it but some sites break out of frames and it's messy, harder to update... One .htaccess file with your list of redirects and you're set.

Code:

<a href="http://www.someaffiliate.com/affid#1246808999999032" style="font-size:12px;color:#ffffff;font-family:verdana;" onMouseOver="window.status='http://www.yoursite.com/whatever.htm'; return true;" onMouseOut="window.status=''; " target="_blank">http://www.yoursite.com/whatever.htm</a>

Here is a simple method that can be used to hide affiliate urls. When inserted in your page where you would like your affiliate link to be hidden, the aforementioned code will hide your affiliate url in both the lower left status window and the page to be opened.

Hope this helps.
