Just off the top of my head....
You may want to try putting your aff links in a frame .html file and then just linking to the .html file.
Like this...
or like this...
You could also even try going 1 step farther and encrypting the frame file,with a html encryption program.
That way google would just see you are linking to another page....

Like this...
Code:
<html>
<body>
<center>
<iframe frameborder='0' scrolling='no' width='1000' height='1000' src='your aff link here'></iframe>
</center>
</body>
</html>
Code:
<html><head>
<frameset rows='100%, *' frameborder=no framespacing=0 border=0>
<frame src="AFF LINK HERE" name=mainwindow frameborder=no framespacing=0 marginheight=0 marginwidth=0 scrolling="yes"></frame>
</frameset>
</html>That way google would just see you are linking to another page....

Add a new directory on your server (example - go/out/whatever). Create a php redirect (see below) and save as index.php and upload to recently created directory. Your link will be cloaked and look like yoursite.com/go instead of ugly aff link.
Code:
<?php
header( ‘Location: http://youraffiliatelink.com' ) ;
?>bustysexylacey

Who said google ranks down sites with affiliate links? That makes no sense. That like google ranking down a site for have adsense. The only reason to hide affiliate links is to keep punk web surfers from seeing them. those types of websufers will deliberately type in the domain just because they know the link might help a webmaster get paid.

You can do the same with a htaccess 301 redirect.
Either way, I don't think affiliate links hurt your rankings.

what's the purpose of this thread, i dun think affiliate link can get your ranking down man, unless you have some illegal stuff going on, otherwise, g.o.o.g.l.e should allow it to flow.

Affiliate links can hurt you bad - real bad.
If your site is a thin affiliate site - search google for that and cutts - you are shafted. Ive seen it happen to hundreds of my own thin affiliate sites.
Cutts has stated they got shut of "a load of affiliate stuff" in the past.
The definition of whats "thin" seems to change aswell - so be careful.
How the fook can ANYONE say affiliate links dont hurt is totally beyond me. I went from about 200k $ a year to about 40k $ a year as goog slowly but surely destroyed all my affiliate sites.

After removing affiliative links my site jumped from 7th to 2nd position in just one day.........

i'm wondering if this doesn't affect ranking as well as google requires webmasters to place a redirect info for the user
like: hi user, you'll be redirected in 5 sec
