Are subdomains the best way to hide affiliate links

How do you hide your affiliate links? Do you use a subdomain or some different method? Also what do you think of this code I picked up to mask affiliate links from google?

It wouldn't let me include it if you want the code email me at successpass a gmail . c o m with the words mask affiliate code from google in the title!

bounce it off a php redirect
(sounds like the same thing you're talking about)

I use prettylink plugin on a wp install. Can manage affiilate links placed on other sites remotely, change out underperformers etc.

tinyurl is the best way

bit .ly, they have the best (free) that i've seen analytics on clicks to your converted urls.

I use the ones mentioned above. The only problem is: Your 'converted' affiliate ID including the whole link shows in the explorer when clicked. I have affilate deals with over 200 businesses from CJ CB TD buy*at AW. Bit*ly is ok in so far as you have the chance to customise the link to a degree. But not stop the original crappy link showing when clicked. I have bought affiliate link cloaking software You paste your link, it says 'link cloaked page created' upload to server. All you get is a FF icon. No text. So how can I place a F***** icon in the description of a video?
I use YT and others to promote my links. My videos do well. Individiual as per company offer. I want to be able to place a clickable link in description that leads directly to the chosen sales page rather than any of my websites. Showing my text e.g. h**p..Be the next instant millionaire. Not h*8t..p useruid exy=//123456878653. You know what I mean?
I have software for a banner cloaker but that does not help me with video. Any advice would be really greatly appreciated. Big G won't allow redirects to affiliate sites. Why do they make it so F****** hard for people to make cash??
