Hiding Affiliate Links with clocking,javascript and httacces?

I want to hide my affiliate links.Google shouldn't be able follow/see them at all.

I wonder if that is a good plan. Let me know is there any way to have throuble with google using that.

1) Clock them - Domain/product_folder/item_id.html
2) Javascript link in form: <script language="javascript"> <!-- document.write("<a href=\"domain/product_folder/product_id.html\">Anchor</a>"); //--> </script>
3) Block google through htaccess from accessing folder product_folder

 

Just create a page eg yourdomain.com/download and then redirect that page to your affiliate link. There are plugins for this if using Wordpress such as 'redirect all types'.

Next make sure that page is excluded from your sitemap and then add a no follow to the actual links you place on your site. eg below:

Code:

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://yourdomain.org/download" rel="nofollow" target="_self">Click Here To Download</a></strong></p>

 

Thanks but i already done that and i think problems is that google follow redirected link so it identifies my affiliate link.

So i need to block google from following this redirect.

 

Block the folder that the page resides in from the search engines using robots.txt.

Another method of hiding/redrecting affiliate links is to modify the .htaccess file (if the site is hosted on an apaches server - most are).

 

Is it a smart idea to block search engines to access the redirection folder using the htacess.

Actually I could even block everything which http referer isn't my domain.
