I completely agree, you should not hide anything. Search engines are smarter than you think, and so hiding things from them will cause problems in the long run. You have to be completely truthful in everything. Work with the search engines, not against them.

I also think hiding link is necessary. But mouseovver javascripts only hides links on mouse over time. When they try to click, actual link will appear on the page. Also if the browser disabled JavaScript, it will not works.

I found a simpler way to hide affiliate links completly. Visit: http://cutelink.info and you will realise how it is simple to hide your links.

Interesting argument, I must say that I do use a redirect system on affiliate links, not just to hide those links, but also to give me back control over those links, giving one place where they can be updated. Affiliate managers (as we have seen with text-link-ads) have a habit of changing things around every now and then, if you are forced to go through in my case 1000′s of affiliate links scattered across many sites it becomes an impossible task.

As far as search engines are concerned, i think that you are probably right, redirects are bad, but the question is which is worse, redirects or broken links that you have missed while updating?

It does’nt matter how much affliated links you show. what matters is how much your links will be usefull for our bloggers. My question is how to you make profit through backend sales.
