For WH sites? Personaly I prefer to create a php file with http.referrer redirection to affiliate and place it in folder which is dosallowed to access for SE spiders via robots.txt.

If you use a php file on your website, you can use something like:

<?php
header('location: sitenameafflink');
?>

Click to expand...

So they hit your site, ie sitename/link1.php and its sends them to the affiliate.

I like using Redirect in the .htaccess file
just add

Redirect /dogtraining h t t p your-affiliate-url

then send people to h t t p your-affiliate-url/dogtraining

it looks like its part of your site and people won't feel like they are being
sent off to an external site


sorry for the creative url posting.. I can't post real URLS yet

Or if you don't want to bother with PHP or .htaccess, you can try www.cloakedlink.com.
